  1. Tree is goring out of the fence, I wonder if there used to be a laurel growing on the far side of the fence years ago?!
  2. Yup, even in rural areas there's plenty of very large industrial and commercial buildings that should be covered in solar panels before they allow planning to convert farm land into solar.
  3. I fitted a brand new eberspacher d2 to a van years ago, that thing was about £800! And a fair bit of work to get a feed from the main fuel tank. Got one of the cheap chinese heaters for the house, still not got round to doing a proper heating system. Got a woodburner in the lounge but it's not enough when it's sub zero. Removed a disused vent and put two 4" stainless pipes through the wall for the warm air and return to the heater, and some plastic waste pipe for cables. Extended the wires on the controller/display so that is inside the house. The battery is an old lorry battery, 12v 220ah as I have a few lying about. Charger is inside with an extended cable going out. Still needs a bit of fiddling round ie try and insulate the air pipes a bit more. Tin cans can be used as joiners/adaptors for the 75mm ducting, and to get the exhaust through wood Fuel tank is 5l but only about 4l is usable.
  4. Have you got photos? Aint got a way of opening your files
  5. I think the other thing is the type of dogs that you'd get in a paid dog park are the ones more likely to be problematic..........a bit bitey.....
  6. We're all nosey gits on here, show us some photos of your firewood set up, logs sheds, stacks of timber etc in Romania 👍
  7. Plot twist: OP gets paid £200/day for the company they do work for All the other sub contractors at the same firm get paid £300/day
  8. It's worth running a dog park for the free fertiliser alone
  9. If you can, try and get locally grown wood, rather than firewood imported from a far flung country. Softwood or hardwood, it doesn't matter, it will all keep your toes cosy when it's dry.
  10. If you're back up to Inverness again, there's a little backstreet tyre shop that does part worns, he might buy the old tyre off you 👍
  11. Deffo a scam, we all know it was only FR Jones who did half price Stihl tools
  12. If you're self employed, you set your own wage 🤐
  13. I was thinking your username related to your year of birth ('87), but now you mention windows 3.1, I'm assuming that username is your age!
  14. Heading south on the A9 at Dunkeld, how far north had you been?!
  15. scbk

    Scam?

    The giveaway is that a government department wants to give you money.....
  16. Used to laugh watching the videos of Rufford Ford on youtube, must be ££hundreds of thousands worth of vehicles written off at that spot. The council eventually closed off the road with those prefab concrete barriers. This lad in the tractor thought screw your road closed, I can make it through that water no bother
  17. Flip it on it's head, tell them you sold the arisings (woodchip and logs). So if they want the job without paying for removal from site, price is now double
  18. Problem is though it takes a long time for the bones to rot down. Unless you've got a very large woodland, I would suggest putting the bodies through a chipper first. I find this vastly aids decomposition.
  19. Local furniture/bric a brac auction, you used to be able to get old books for like £1/box. They don't take them in anymore, not much commission on £1!
  20. Years ago a friend was telling me he worked out it if you were in a supermarket or whatever the value crisps was cheaper kwh than the logs
  21. This is an old touring caravan at a friends house, one side is clad, one side is extended onto a shed, the rest is harled with cement and stone
  22. Just to muddy the waters you can be subject to drivers hours whilst exempt from a tachograph. A commercial vehicle under 3.5t being used for a business (ie transit van) is subject to GB domestic drivers hours Drivers' hours: Goods vehicles - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK EU and GB domestic rules for drivers of goods vehicles and passenger-carrying vehicles
  23. 4 cube of bark on a 3 cube trailer, it settles a fair bit. Bone dry, if you didn't cover it trailer would be half empty at the end of your journey! Bungee is 10mm thick
  24. I've used Lion Trading a couple of times: Skip and Container Covers 170gsm fine mesh net with eyelets LION-TRADING.CO.UK Skip and Container covers 170gsm breathable mesh with metal eyelets for fixing with bungee elasticated rope or tie down rope.
