    It's not £500 a week, the OP is s/e so he has to pay tax and NI and supply his climbing gear out of that. ok he gets a van or a lift to work. Why would you run your own business if £120 a day is dream land ? go and work for someone else for a oner a day and save the stress.

    I know what your saying chap, i run my own business and have sleepless nights, and to get where i am today i did 80 to a hundred hours a week, yes we are entitled to the better things in life. But it does not mean we have to pay substandard wages to those that help us to get where we are. Look after them who look after you.

    No unscrupulous bosses out there then, that pay peanuts and drive flash motors back to nice houses ? Paying on time and treating people with respect does not pay the bills if ya aren't getting paid a FAIR days money. Just a thought

    I just got back from a blokes house i do a bit of work for now and again, he'd just took delivery of 2 m3 of mixed hardwood (the load looked about right) don't know about the m/c as i had not got my meter with me. The load delivered cost £120!!! £60 a cube!!! Glad i got out of the log game.

    Your link seems to talk the talk, Andy. But in reality the verges around here would never be cut if the locals didn't do it. Lets face it some of us live in the sticks, the closest pub, shop, post office, phone box or even street light is in the next village, ya never see a police officer or even a PCSO.....What chance have we got of getting the grass cut:001_rolleyes:

    Don't believe the "first metre" belongs to the Highways Agency!! Utter rubbish as far as Suffolk CC (Highways department) are concerned!! There was a smash (RTA) outside our place a couple of years ago. Ripped up the verge/ditch out the front that I always maintained. After many phone calls and a site visit.......It was down to me to sort out:thumbdown:

    It went for 25 hundred quid, this is it Nissan cabstar tipper | eBay
  12. eggsarascal
    I put my old (98, r Reg) Nissan cabstar on ebay last week with no reserve. I got £300 more than I paid for it three years ago. The chap who bought and paid for it today said he was going to export it, i'm more than happy with my deal. Just curious to know what money the dealers/traders are making on these trucks ?

    I get the flue exits now:blushing: Depends on the pitch of the roof as to how far the flue sticks out..... I got there in the end:sneaky2:
  14. eggsarascal
    Thank ya I'll give it a look.
  15. eggsarascal
    Thanks everyone Alycidon. Thanks for the advice. The 33% of the flue being less than vertical as scuppered my plans! The bit i cant get me head around is the flue exists. My burner would be on an external wall so the flue would exit close to the rear of the guttering. How far would it stick out of the roof ? TIA. Oh and i will be getting in a Hetas firm into install it.

    We are thinking about fitting a log burner in the lounge (we live in a bungalow). The problem we have is there is no fire-place or chimney breast in this room, there is a fire-place in another room (not used much or at all any more). So can i get a free standing burner and send the flu from it into the loft then do a 45/90 degree angle and tap the flu into the existing chimney stack instead of opening up the roof to send the flu outside ? Hope this makes sense.

    People these days do NOT want a pile of logs tipped on their drive. Where do you get this assumption from ? I must know (or know of) at least ten firewood merchants around this way who only do loose loads tipped on the customers drive. The only exception to this is Chris Gagen (hullsmillfarm) who stores his logs in m3 vented bags (i'm not sure if he delivers them in the bag or not)
