Why is it we pay VAT on Chainsaw Trousers
Joy Yeomans replied to Jontreasure's topic in General chat
my accountant told us we could claim workware against tax IF it was embroided with logo etc and so therefore could or would only be used for the job?! -
no we tried this dave, you really need air spaces between them, can you move a row out ? do you use a loadall? if so your bags want to be the other way round as if your drivining in from the side of the second pic the tip eye is on teh side and you want it on the front

have you tried Longcliffe Quarrie near Brassington tel 01629 540284, i used to work for them and they mine lime and have a lab turning it into all different sorts of lime for r&d projects - they also used to deal with calcifert and seaweed fert etc try them - ask for Bill Cooke and mention me (joy) he'll definately help if he can (they used to sell small quanitites of all sorts of calicum carbonates from hydrated to slaked lime and they always help out on small projects as they are still a family owned company and like to help on local projects and outlets etc - worth a try charlie rohan just said - they do do it in 25kg size paper cement bags, as used to have it for cubicles etc, and also when he repped for them for the farmers, he picked up some calcifert for horse area in small bags and small quantity

no - wouldnt have enought tarps - we have 100s of these outside each year, any rain ingress comes out of the nets and the wind dries them off - we bring 20-30 in at a time to the shed before delivery if wet weather forecast for a day or two just ot make doubly sure the customer receives bone dry logs, but sometimes its a waste of time as you tip them out onto their drive as reque:confused1:sted and they then leave them there for weeks in a heap sometimes - when they are dry we moisture meter them, split some in half from the middle of each bag, if they do get wet, its only ever on the outside anyway i would just add - we use bag supplies ltd - maurice wilsons - drying net bags, have tried cheaper inferiorones and they dont last, we use ours over and over again and out of 200 that get reused probably several times a year only had one rip, and that was probably because it started to snag on a hedge

thanks for all the responses, sold, last one delivered today, the power of arbtalk! -
heres a few pics, eac net is 1 cubic metre, we tip two into our pickup and so all the loads are the same, each one is filled by holding open by the loadall and then given a good shake by the loadall to make sure the bags are full the same, dry out well, each row is about 3' apart in the direction of the prevailing wind to aid drying, and they are stacked on old pallets, dry off in 4-6 months .
-
we mostly cut into vented drying nets 1 cubic metre size, stack on a pallet and stack 3 high in the open air - open to the drying wind, rain goes through the net and doesnt stick on the logs and they air dry in about 4 months

just to put the Forestry Contractors Association take on this - the official line straight from Donald McClean head of FCA's legal is that ARB is NOT Forestry -but if you think you have a valid case and can back it up then so be it. just quoting the official FCA line, issued to us forestry contractors.
