  1. I did mine back in feb the course provider arranged sponsorship for me and I arranged the medical and D&A test so it can be done. Unfortunately the work I was told I would get never appeared so it now seems a waste of money good luck and hope it works out for you

    That's a nice looking set up. Started the other fence last week all started really well then went belly up as took 3 days to set 37 posts and had to hire a micro digger for the last few holes. Reckon we were on the found for an old dry stane dyke will have to upload some pics when I've got them from my phone

    Sounds the ideal way of doing it. I normally like to dig then set so I don't start to run off so if I hire it for a day and just work on till its done as reckon it would be a few days to dig them out by hand.

    Post borer

    sounds the way forward now to find a hire co that has one at a decent price. If it all goes reasonably smooth how many posts do you reckon can be done in a day?

    All timber fenceing hit and miss one site will probably have loads of roots and the other is a new build so could be full of back fill and crap.

    Post borer

    I'm getting a run of fences recently and there all a fair size. Now I normally use a petrol borer for the holes but one is 40 posts and I'm looking at one tomorrow which will be around 60 posts maybe:sneaky2: so got me thinking about hiring a mini digger with the borer on it. So guess my question is is it worth it and does it make the job easier?
  15. That's going to cut in to you so badly youl wish you bought a decent harness and spent a few pounds more
  16. Nice area that been a few times normally stay at the lodges just up from duck bay. Might be worth looking up the local forestry boys
  17. Good luck mate where abouts in Scotland are you based as that might help to know where you are.
  18. Think its chunks little brother is the man to speak to. Worth a quick search as he is ment to be the daddy of tm from what I've read
  19. Nice one:thumbup: you won't forget her in a hurry and at least it will keep earning you money instead of peeing it against a wall. I did the same to get my first truck:thumbup:
  20. A prime example of why people should stick to there own line of work. Think he should buy a lotto ticket while his luck is still in
  21. Have a look for a jet hoist as cheaper than a tirfor but does the same job
  22. Looks like one that is for sale on eBay at the moment but I could easy be wrong
  23. When I used to work in the crating we couldn't get rid of it during the summer and only used to take 10-20 notes for a big box. Sure if you ask them they would do a box to rough sizes you need
