  1. If your running to a budget and your not towing a chipper, wheat about a cheap van and trailer combo to get started. As previously stated, dont fork out shed load of money on new gear, just take it one step at a time.
  2. i still have about 4 of those. I started with 1 on the allotment when i was about 10 yrs old, cutting firewood.
  3. Can i be a bit picky, you say it is a no jewellery policy, so therefore it must cover the whole school right ? So my question is, does all the staff remove wedding rings etc ? if they dont surely they are in breach of there own rules ? Just a thought. Oh and i say well done to the lad for standing up for his moralls and supporting our brave troops.
  4. LOL, beat me to it. I was going to say J looks like something out of land of the giants sat on that, or Honey i blew up the kids, lol:thumbup:
  5. Just been renewing my van insurance, i'm with swinton insurance, they never send me a quote in post just a letter saying i have to ring them. I rang up and gave me a price that was over £100 dearer than current. I said no thanks bye, the woman said hold on, came back with a buy it now at £50 dearer than current. I said no thanks bye, the woman said hold on, came back with a price £50 CHEAPER than current, i said Thankyou i'll have that. Just goes to show what they will do to keep your business.
  6. You could use an expanding glue like gorilla glue, use it as normal but it expands slightly, thus filling any small gaps and gluing at the same time. Normal glue will just sink, you will have to layer it.
  7. Very impressive. It makes a change doing things that are unique. As a kid i was glued to the tv watching g capes etc, also brian jacks on superstars. Like watching the strongest man whenever its on. Would like to get to scotland one year to watch the highland games.
  8. take em to court. Do everything in the correct manor. Once you have won, then dump the rubbish on their garden. lol.
  9. If you do your artic (c+e) then you can drive and tow any size vehicle and trailer combo, as long as both veh + trl are of the correct legal combination,ie, the correct gvw and gtw (gross train weight). However it does seem a bit extreme and expensive (£3k +) . The B+E (trailer) will allow you to pull a 3.5t gross trailer.
  10. Ha Ha !, i had a blue grifter, best bike ever. Have done both road bike and mountain, do prefer the mountain, but only because thats what i have at the mo. Everyone is aloud on public roads, cars,bikes, cycles, horses etc, but there is always one thing missing that would make life easier for everyone and that is ........... Respect of other road users !
  11. Just got back from holiday in flambrough, there were loads of them up there, our lass (bless her ) got stung whilst on the beach !
  12. Same here Rob, would be very keen to read a step by step guide, bit low on funds at mo, but this is definately something i want to try.
  13. Just like other lads have said, have a look at gritting, hard landscaping, renovation work, logging, kindling, Hows your diy skills, could you pick up maitenance contracts in nursing homes etc , keeps you warm in winter.
  14. Would love to help out one harvest, just to get to experience and see how much work goes into harvesting, which people seem to take for granted.
  15. Tractor driving, forwarder, etc if its manual your after, or surveying etc if its academic.
  16. Dont know any costings yet, will just ring round all the couriers and find an average. How long did it take to make yours, did you do any costings on it ?
  17. I think the price is about right, the timbers that you are using are the same as i would use. When i start making them, i'm just going to do about 3 different sizes of one basic design and see how it goes. Who do you use for delivery ?
  18. It will be a while, but i could get a basic web site set up in about a month. ( i'm away shortly on hols). Its something that i would only be too pleased to get involved in.
  19. Just checked another couple of web pages, and they both state 1500kg, for the model that i like. Would put links up but dont know how to do it.
  20. This is something that i would be interested in doing from next year on when i'm geared up a bit better. I would build them , then supply them flatpacked for people just to erect them.
  21. Thats interesting Dean, can you find anything on them about 04/05 plate 2.0 ltr models. I've on auto trader site and they state 1500kg braked trailer limit. Thanks.
  22. I'm sure i've read that a 2.0 ltr one can pull upto 1500kg braked trailer. This is very important, as it will be used to pull a caravan.
