the older i get, the more i realise , i'm more than happy living on a low wage, but spending a hell of a lot more time at home, doing the family thing. Also, i'm getting more into the home grown thing, i love my allotment, but have never given it the attention it required because work always got in the way. But now i have more time on my hands i'm determined to put it right. i dont think i'll ever retire from work, so i might as well spend my time doing what I want and not what others want. -
Mr potato head for me.

Love it !

Hi, thanks for the reply. Just how bad do you find the bad points. Like i said earlier, this will be my first foray into milling, so i want to get it right.

Anyone see Jimmys wood last night on TV ?
harvey b davison replied to Les Cork's topic in General chat
yes, i watched it, who the hell is that crazy guy who did everything the prehistoric way. -
Cheers everyone I have wanted to have a go at milling for ages, so i'm going to get myself a small one, just to see how i go with it.

Olympic disqualifications...i dont get it??
harvey b davison replied to Steve Bullman's topic in The Lounge
for me its simple, you cheat, your out ! I carnt understand how dwain chambers is allowed in ( the olympics), when he was banned for using drugs. Its just all wrong !!! -
But what about the billions they made b4 the crash ! I just feel they are laughing at us all now, just like they were laughing at us all when they were making their billions. I detest the banks.

I refuse to do the cpcs cards, i tend to do the cheaper alternative cards ( Npors, ittsar ) etc, i know they are not as widely excepted, but i tend to find work with them, the training is just the same but ££££'s cheaper. Also, how come non of this applies to farmers ( as i believe ) -
So what is exactly changing and how will it affect everyone.
-
the kawasaki range are apparently well worth a shot ( never tried one myself tho ) if your after a lightwieght one, have a look at the makita range.
-
But a van might be the better ( overlooked ) choice. If not, i'd go either hi lux, l200 or isuzu.
-
sounds to me as tho you just need to swap the van, if you have managed with a small van this long, why change, i'd go for a citroen berlingo with the seats in. its a roomy multipurpose vehicle. if you dont need 4 wheel drive, why get it.

horse stables, field shelters and barns

hi, hope your new venture goes well. Just looked on your website and noticed a few spelling mistakes, you might want to correct. cheers -
I would gladly pay an extra 10p litr to keep the farmers going, i believe in supporting them as much as possible. They help to create the countryside we all enjoy. On the subject of grants etc. I was once working on a project for a well know ' lord '. he was renovating a home he had bought for his son. As it was a listed building in a run down state, he managed somehow to get a grant to cover the renovations. What did he do. He built a great big indoor swimming pool and jaccuzzi. How can that be right !

What jobs can you safely give a 12 year old son in

bow saw and an axe, let him cut / chop his own sticks, bag em and sell them as a seperate entity, end off holidays see his face light up when he sees how much he has earned. I was also going to add, let him go knocking on doors selling his wares, but its too dangerous now. i did this back in the 80's, much safer then. -
i didnt think arborculture was covered by the cis scheme.
-
put it down to experience. move on, dont dwell on it.
-
get a petrol one, you will soon get the bug and want to start cutting everything and anything. Electric ones do have a place, but i would go for a small petrol one in this case. I like the makita saws. But thats just personal preference and i'm not a pro user.
