  1. Yep, it's all sorts things. I looked at a van recently, t"was tidy apart from the airbag light being on, airbag ecu knackered. Dealer said he would sort it in the next day or two... until he found out there are none available due to Covid. A mate of mine has got a small extension to build, can't get the bricks he needs. You got it, due to Covid.
  2. Hi, I'm just passing time while waiting for a lorry. Could you explain how you are an active member of arbtalk? You've been a member for 3 years, have 58 posts, all of which are much of a muchness.
  3. T'was roughly, but close enough for an estimate. If your drive was mine and you can get planings I'd scrape it off and get a few lads on rakes and a roller. It would be done in a day.
  4. Just sent you a message about that.
  5. Only pulling ya chain Gary, tidy job bud.
  6. It'd look alright to a blind man on a galloping horse...
  7. You'll like this, not a lot, but...
  8. Yeah, it pisses me off when I've got it planed in my mind and it all goes pear shaped on the day. We all have those days though, keeping them to a minimum is the secret.
  9. Don't ya just hate it when a plan doesn't come off.
  10. You have to go n spoil everything, I took what Paddy was saying as gospel.
  11. If you have no luck at Methwold try Daryl at Norfolk Frabrication Wymondham 01953 851650.
  12. I'll give you a good example, where I last had a place was on the main road through the village, the locals in the village pub were always complaining about speeding motorists, my ex Mrs organised a camera van through the parish council. You got yet?, she was vilified by the very same people when they were caught speeding through the village.
  13. It's a bit like policing, everyone is for it until it's them are being policed.
  14. That's without the other bits like laundry and office space, even living in a truck😂deducted for accommodation when working away from home, how's that work when you live in a truck anyway🤷‍♂️
  15. I don't know where 40% came from above, I also don't know where a construction industry scheme comes into tree work. I'd guess some tree work on construction sites could fall under CIS?
  16. Yep, with 10 years experience, leading a team with those tickets warrants £16.50/hour imo. Wether he can get it is a different thing. Based on an 8 n half hour day.
  17. £140/day is £700/week top of his ticket plus holidays etc ain't bad money up north. That's where I'd want to be with the OP's experience and tickets.
  18. Seems to be the going rate, this website belongs to a member here although he's only a handful of posts. Sleepers - JPS Timber WWW.JPSTIMBER.CO.UK JPS Timber, based near Sudbury, Suffolk, supply new & reclaimed timber to both trade & private customers from...
  19. I think £160/day is strong on the books, but £100/day is taking the piss.
  20. £34 inc VAT yesterday.
  21. You forgot to mention its located on your head.
  22. No, I've better things to do with my money.
  23. Permanently if all goes to plan.
  24. Bang on, my nephew as just paid £6k over the asking price for his first house. The two houses he looked at before sold while him and his Mrs went away to think about it.
  25. Everyone should be on a water meter, using potable water in the garden should be a last resort, anyone would think it was on tap.
