  1. Bamboo takes over far too quickly and is a b......d to dig out and get rid of!
  2. A couple of pics from today - deep old sycamore stump left in from one we took down 2 weeks ago. Foundations now dug out close by gave us good access to get the whole thing right out ?
  3. Same old story, can’t take phone call, in hospital, can’t hear, just had operation on throat/voicebox so can’t speak, just moved to remote location, will only deliver it but for a good price, won’t accept cash on collection or anyone looking at the item because IT DOESNT EXIST!!! so many of these on eBay, also gumtree, preloved, and other sites.
  4. Not far from Chelmsford, mid Essex. Close up of leaves with small black berries
  5. No problem- will put it aside and get some better pics
  6. Cheers - I’ll get some close ups of the leaves tomorrow
  7. We just uncovered this behind a fence that we need to replace. It’s got to come out but would like an idea what it is please? Leaves are very much like privet but never seen one as big as this?
  8. Hi rob, your books will finish April 5th 2019 and should be submitted after that date and under current rules tax to be paid by 31st jan 2020 (as far as I’m aware) Moves are underway to make all submissions digital every 3 months so worth keeping up to date with what hmrc are doing. A good accountant will save you more than they will cost you!
  9. Coracten tablets on prescription help my reynauds- not a cure but certainly helps. Gold leaf dry touch gloves ok till they get soaked through, winter touch when the temp really drops but not good for climbing
  10. Even if there were twice that amount of logs left for the op, it doesn’t change the fact that it was probably over double the cost it should have been. always get more than one quote and get recommendations
  11. I was a bit peeved when it happened initially, but just price it in on quotes to building firms now. Accountant gets all the cis vouchers and calculates what’s been paid so in effect the tax bill at year end is a bit lower ?

    Box

    I use wax or 2/3coats gloss paint, many recommend pva glue and I store anything for turning a minimum 3 years in outbuildings with airflow
  13. Solo workers night out not much fun! December always too busy working on the doors till 3am fri/sat so the doorfirm Christmas night out is in January when it’s quieter.
  14. Bulldog or similar wheel clamp, hitch lock, security chain round axle through a recessed ring in concrete right underneath to make access harder - all these will at least make it more difficult for them and the noise should wake you! glad they didn’t get away with it, thieving scum!!!!

    Arb Body

    That looks really smart - nice job ?
  16. To be fair I know that this is what the customer asked for, but wtf!!!
  17. I’d guess it will depend on the size? Someone much more qualified than me will be along soon to advise!
  18. Have a read through the wee chipper club thread on here. All depends on how much you need to process and your budget
  19. This! Don’t wait for the redline going up your arm
