HI there many thanks for reply . I have just rang the Tax office and had a chat with a really nice guy that explained it all to me . You are dead right I don't need to be registered at this point unless there is construction work going on within the site so for regular homes and garden tree work and clearance tree work no Cis reg is needed . Its looked at on a job to job basis depending on whats going on the individual site . If say trees were needed to be takend down and then the builders come to demolish the house stright after then CIS would apply as it then falls into the construction site bracket . Should anyone need to reg it only takes a cople of mins you have to explain the job and then they decided weather you need to be reg or not . In my case I explained the type of work and they said not at this point it was not needed . . If you do then the employer also has to be Cis reg and will deduct 20 % tax from your invoice they need to provide evidence of there status for your deduction .. Once reg it does not apply to every job you do as its only jobs that fall under the Cis scheme ie construction sites and work taking place on them . Littletree

Anyone know anything about this ??

I am self employed sole trader doing sub work just in Arb . One of the places I have done some work for was talking to me about being or look at registering CIS . I was not on a building site just the usual sub work How many of you doing sub contract work in Arb are CIS reg ? Is this something I have to worry about ?? as I am just happy being self employed sole trader and doing my own tax . Thanks Littletree:001_smile:

I feel the young straight out of collage will find it very hard when they enter the workforce they are not repaired for the reality of the psychical work involved itself . The work is hard , you Sweet blood and tears to do it you also need to be fit and determined and really really want to do it .you have to be repaired to get dirty wet work in the poring rain and when its hot and when its cold you have to keep going hour after hour with a smile on your face . Many of the young straight out of collage entering the work force sadly will give up within a short time when they realize whats involved . Littletree

I am based in Somerset have my own transport and can travel. I am hard working don't mind getting dirty and can provide ref should you want one . If you could do with an extra pair of hands then PM me Thanks Littletree:biggrin:

Still smiling loving every minute of it . The first week in this game either makes you or brakes you . Most last a couple of days and are gone . The first 2 days are the hardiest as when you are new in ,you don't know what to expect plus you have to really prove yourself as on team you all have to pull the same workload you cannot have one that not pulling the same as the others if you no good you will know very quickly about it and its game Over . .After the first 2 days if you are still in it then gets much better as you then you understand how the day unfolds and learn how the lads operate the pace you have to work at ,when you stop ,go eat ,drink, take the chippings away etc. You very quickly become accepted into the team if you work hard . In a week I learned so much its a whole new ball game in Clarence work . Looking forward to week 2 . I went out and got some thick long gauntlet gloves so the thorns wont stand a chance of getting one up on me this week . Littletree:thumbup:

Hi all just an update . I have just done my first week in my new job . I have had a wonderfully week . I have been working on the motorway doing Clarence we have been for most of the week on a long stretch of thick bramble and blackthorn .I have been working on a 3 person team . 2 chaps and myself 1 lass . The day begain by cutting into the brambles to get to the hawthorn trees then pulling them out and up the bank heading for the other lad on the chipper. Its great you get to have a go at all the different jobs and and everyone helps each other all the time . The job keeps you nice and fit and you feel really good at the end of the day knowing you have put in a good days graft My first week has been great my first day worries are long gone and they were pleased with me and have asked me back for more so am just delighted . looking forward to week 2 Littletree:thumbup:

HI there dont do it only accept cash on collection or a postal order that you cash before he take the bike dont let the bike out of your site untill you have the funds in your hand . Littletree

Hi There small claims is the way forward with that amount . I did a small claims some years ago for just a little more that amount it was not difficult to do and I won . Sometimes When the other other side receive there papers to attend court through the post they will settle out of court with you there and then if they they think they are going to loose . Dont let them get away with it.!! You have done the work for them now you want your money . Good luck Littletree

Yes it still is ,I will take it back, its been back many times before its still under a year old . I am quite surprised for a Stihl saw as its given me alsorts of problems from soon after getting it up to its end today . I will be heading there on Sat . Thanks Littletree

Hi Felixthelogchopper thats just so cool. I am really pleased for you really hope it turns long term for you . I did my first day new job doing clearence on the motorways it was just great fun I got to do loads of sawing and brashing great fun . I had nice lads to work and have a good Boss . later on I will soon able to use the Timberwolfs when I get my ticket those machines are just the best. looking forward to day 2 Littletree

Hi Paul Thanks so much for all you have done I really enjoyed climbing sat . I loved every minut of my first day with you guys . it its a cracking job I am chuffed to bits . Man those Timberwolfs are just amazing . I am looking forward to stuffing those soon. Looking forward to tom . My poor saw is looking rather sorry for itself sitting in the kitchen I am deciding its future fate. Cool see you in the morning Thanks Littletree :thumbup:,

I Got to the bottom of the problem with my 211 today when it started playing up again . The housing where the muffler its sits had come loose . I tightened it all up again and have done this before several times in the past and each time it would come loose again very quickly but today it would not tighten up at all so now its looking rather sorry for its self sitting on the kitchen floor. Littletree

After a good blast outside its seems to be ok now .It was running high tickover and not settling down . Thanks Littletree

Hi thanks for reply Yes I am and it does not change .but It opens ok when I am using the throttle for drive . I have got the air filter off and nothing seems to be blocking anything when looking at the levers . Thanks Littletree

HI thanks for reply it s difficult to explain as am new to the inner workings of the saw other then the basic maintenance . When I put the lever down to full choke its closed as it should be but when I go up from that positing to half choke and then to on it stays in the shut position rather then opening . Hope this explains better Thanks Littletree

Hi all I need some help with my MS211 I have had lots of problems with this little saw the problems never go away for long and then there back This time the carburetter is staying shut on half throttle and on 1 and on off postion . It opens ok when I use throttle for drive . Is there anything I can do to sort this as need to fix it by the morning . Many Thanks Littletree
