  1. Same, it did my head in in the end but it covered the transition from dom to com quite well.
  2. Vat kills domestic work. Set up a LTD co for the vat and keep the sole trader non-vat. Put domestic thru the latter and commercial thru the ltd co.
  3. Echo CS2510TES Top Handle Petrol Chainsaw Echo CS360TES Top Handle Chainsaw Very slightly over budget but worth it by every penny... Glowing reviews on here for both of them. My mate's got the 360; can't fault it at all. OR! http://www.sugiharabarsuk.co.uk/product-category/offers/
  4. Echo, echo, echo, echo, echo !!!
  5. If only you'd said this 3 weeks ago...! Denis Cimaf head on an LTC now for at least 6 months...
  6. Thanks Mark. I'm driving the machines etc but even lifting a full kettle makes it twinge a bit now; bit of a worry.
  7. As per the Front Cover of FJ this month. Gonna PAO the Alstor I reckon
  8. How did I miss this: Brilliant. [ame] [/ame]
  9. Loadsa variables you haven't mentioned... stick size? terrain? job volume? extraction route? motormanual or mechanised? and so on and so on and so on......................................
  10. Actually, I don't take any painkillers at all. AFAIC if it masks the pain it just means I'm more likely to rip it again. Thanks tho bud.
  11. Any advice? Following a dislocated and fractured rib back in November, the nature of the job means I keep re-fracturing the rib cartilage adjacent to the sternum. Doc says time; delegate the physical work. That's pretty much ok but I hurt it even climbing out of the cab on angles, whacking track joiners out, even giving it some to the big socket set Even sleeping on it funny too lol. Any special techniques for recovery time reduction gratefully received.
  12. Which is more important for you? The chipping power and productivity OR the tracking ability?
  13. Note to losers: The Drugs Don't Work.
  14. That's perfectly fair enough. I've been there trust me - started out feeling it was wrong to do a job and take money off people. I was the one living a miserable life on the edge for years; because I was clueless about running a business I had every debt collector ringing me up, defaulting on every commitment because I had a STUPID POVERTY MENTALITY!!! £12/hour is a recipe for ruin. It isn't doable unless he's won the lottery and "cut that grass for free".
  15. So you live without money do you? No mortgage? No heating, water, other fuel costs whatsoever? Free food from your own garden? Free meat from your own flock? People queueing up to do voluntary work for you. Left wing socialist bullcrap!
  16. Some sensible responses here from business's; the others are charities who haven't a clue:thumbdown: Funny the one's always complaining they're skint are the one's who think profit is a dirty word. Young, dumb and full of ...
  17. Now that's funny:biggrin:
  18. Junk or worth a punt as a bargain?
  19. Correct. It's a Dolmar product, not Mak.
  20. That the one. More like a coppa saying "oi, I wanna word with you" and the ORB running round a yew hedge...
  21. The bar in the pic; that the original that doesn't cut so well as the .43? Looks lush tho!
