I've had the rayburn on some nights, have a huge pile of rubbish bits that I would rather get rid of (bark/sawdust), better off heating the water than being left to rot
-
Also if someone is on your books (rather than self employed) you will need to provide all their ppe, mess facilities, paid holidays, sick pay etc
-
I would've thought £6-£7 an hour was a fair rate, slightly more if they're self employed
-
If you live in Scotland you can get up to £200 towards B+E training with the ILA, all the centres are based in the central belt though

Here nothing wrong with blue rope...

What about getting the diesel transit, getting it remapped, block off the EGR, de cat it, every little helps
-
I'm the other side of Inverness and have a "10 ton" petrol splitter, you could stockpile a load of logs then pay me to come in for a few hours/a day etc

You should have told him you can buy additional frames for those scaffold towers
-
Unless you modifed it, it does vertical splitting at ground level - a lot of bending down!

I got a basic stainless steel 1l flask from tesco for about £4 Seems very simmillar to the thermos branded s/s 1l, which costs many times the price, just doesn't have the fancy flip up "tap" thing in the lid And have a ghille kettle which is a nice toy, can't beat a fire Also got a microwave fitted in the van running off an inverter
-
Another option could be caged trolleys like the stuff gets delivered to supermarkets in. You can't stack them but you can wheel them about by hand on contrete/tarmac

I got one of those army style water bottles ('canteen'), comes with a holster so you can keep it on your belt, so you're never far from a drink
-
All you need for the firewood is a chainsaw and a decent enough splitter (and a means of delivery!) Sounds like the local forest group
-
You don't even say which part of the country you're from

what would you pay someone for day rate for forestry work
scbk replied to Stu's topic in General chat
You could make £50/day out on the hills planting trees, no experience or tools required and you'd probably get a lift to site! But if you're happy with what you get paid and your job then thats what matters. If you're not, you need to ask for more or find a new employer £30-£40 a day after you take off your costs is better than being sat on your arse earning nothing -
Here, there's a company near forfar that claim to make their briquettes on site, 20kg bag for £5

Looks like a townie in fancy dress

I've got a set of the dickies winter overalls Wrong time of the year to be needing them though?

Billing Aquadrome is a "holiday park" : campsite/caravans/statics/ponds etc
