  1. Does 1500 quid a year rent for a 40 square metre workshop/building as storage sound any good? They have land for rent too, but no price for that. Only on application. Can rent for 3 years, but have the option of opting out after the first year. Works out at 120 odd quid a month if I were to devide the yearly price by 12. I know a mix of land and dry shelter would be better, but not really possible. Unless I made my own shelter with lots of long pallets, some lengths of timber, and roofing felt from B & Q :]
  2. Do you work for a contractor in york who has been doing work around doncaster, by any chance?
  3. You were right about phoning them too. It was advice on business premices hunting from the jobcentre scheme. Last time I take their advice. They know nothing - About farmers and the like anyhow.
  4. Not so well. Doncaster is the town called malice. All the farmers I've spken to say they've no spare space and want more themselves. To be fair the farm storage in aukley was a bit small, but the other one could have been the size of aukley and he'd still moan. No luck yet, and I'm running low on money so might leave it for now. On the other hand, I've secured 2 ranger loads of oak Happy days today. Shame its come from a wood thats being cut in half for a road, like
  5. Whats the best approach do you think? I phonewd one or 2 up today who answered and I think they got the impression I am a gypsy
  6. Charging what?!?
  7. Sprotbrough. See there is some around in one or 2 pit villages, but it looks like hiroshima after the little barstools finished with it, puts me off a bit. Yes looking around farms is the better idea. I don't fancy having an untold amount of firewood that I'll have bought in go victim to the local game of petrol and match.
  8. What were u doin livin in one o them in a field?
  9. Doncaster
  10. I've looked all over the papers, ebay, and the usual places for a small pocket of land in south yorkshire. Its for a yard for firewood storage and working. They're few and far between but maybe something might turn up. Anyone on here know of any?
  11. Like I said if one isn't enough buy 2, or have a custom size. The reason why I said its a fair size should be obvious. It'll fit in almost any garden and through any gate. A bigger one has a higher chance of not making it past the front garden for being podgy.
  12. Jesus is that true? i was tempted by a stretched commercial range rover with a bull bar once. No wonder it was cheap. So I should still be alright fitting one to my 02 plate ranger then? Why make a law about banning bullbars to new vehicles when ones before a certain date still have them on ( or even those that don't - rangers have a steel bumper..) and may well demolish something along the way.
  13. I wouldn't say so. 2 cube is a fair size space wise. If they want more space, either buy 2 or make a custom size for people. I've made some out of pallets and box crates. I've many more to make, they'll be brilliant.
  14. Envirolites indoor growing envirolite grow lights reflectors and enviro-gro-lites Online Shop low energy growing lights right there. Not sure how good they are, though
  15. No it wasn't one of them, though that looks very clever. One was a Dodge Ram and the other was a Chev/GMC. Saying that I wouldn't have much payload left as they are all well over 3.5t carrying weights. Thats the great thing with the american beasts and american driving licence ( or it was ) compared with UK. A Uk standard car licence is useless apart from being able to drive a car or an overloaded transit twincab.
  16. Thank you. Though I've found out they do 3.5t hook lifters there which i didn't know.
  17. Ah, shame. I like the standard bodywork better. See the american ones that tip look the same as the standard pickups. As far as I've seen anyhow. Not ford I'll admit
  18. So a normal ranger does not have the same chassis as a tipping ranger? That'd mean a new pickup wouldn't it? Sod that I've only just got this one.
  19. Hi everyone. How difficult do you think it would be to get a standard ( non tipping ) single cab ranger load bed to tip like the proper tipper does? Having the wheel arch bumps there wouldn't really bother me much. I just wondered as the proper tipper looks shorter in length and the sides aren't so high. What do you reckon?
  20. Its not likely. England has never learned from europe, except for braile and one or 2 other things, and maybe learning things maybe soon forgot or too late.
  21. :'( Looks like the one I saw in town not long since must be a chenobyl victim, all that radiation keeping her a young 20 year old for ever. No 17 is a bit young for me now. I was thinking 25-30.
  22. Do you reckon there might be a fit latvian women involved
  23. I've found some decay like if the wood turns green or blue wether it is dry or wet seams to go like fury through a log and then move onto those next to it. I've lost a 3rd of my firewood collection to it it got worse after the snow hit for some reason. I find it strange as it was under cover. My entire lot is only a few m sqare at most, but if its 300 quid its worth doing.
  24. It looks like you're all in the south, and work here and there which isn't too bad. In yorkshire everyone who has been doing it for some time is doing it, but newer firms who don't have the customer base don't look to be doing so well. I hope my gardening picks up this summer. I've trimmed and cut the odd tree, but I'm not set for it as a career yet. Oh and range rovers don't mean anything money wise unless its the big inch v8/v12. You can pick a sparkelly new looking 8 year old one up for a few thousand, with a 3 ltr diesel six that sips fuel. Bentleys on the other hand are different.
  25. Its not simply that its being sold off that is upsetting most people. It is what will become of it when it is sold off that people feel threatened by. As with most sell offs by the tories, they see the money worth in things, not the value in what it actually is [ a lovely forest] - as do the [tory] firms that buy it off them. A 100 acre forest may soon become a theme park, shopping centre or housing estate and rarely a tree in sight. This is what threatens people and history has proved them right to be suspicious. As the coal mines, car firms etc are proof. You may say the trees are listed and protected, but only as long as who ever in power does not over rule or change the laws. Such as the laws on livestock keeping have been relaxed i.e animals kept in good conditions etc. These rules and regulations that were law have been over turned since the new government has taken over.
