    Hi all, thanks for the reply's. They will not take screen shots or anything taken from an os map due to copyright. They will only accept a site plan at 1: 1250 and a block plan at 1:500. I sent first a copy of the land registry of my place they turned it down then a 1:5000 scale forestry commission map of my place and this was also turned down. Spoke today with a planner telling them i was trying to save some money, he said you can buy them from us so did and they were cheaper than anywhere else £34 for 2 copies of each.

    Hi anyone. Is their any site i can download maps for a planning application for free. On our local planning site is a link to 4 companies where for a fee you can download a site location and block plan. I know they have to make money but i'm a bit of a skinflint and £57 sounds a lot for an A4 copy of each.

    Hi mendip, i tell them they a'int no good for me as i live in a middle of a wood and have a thatch roof.
  7. woodland dweller
    Thanks for the reply's. With thatch you ain't got a lot of choice as to insurers, always go with the cheapest and still it costs us over £600 per year. The way i rebuilt the tops, was to knock off the top 1m of old crumbling bricks, put in a lead tray sat on a large floor tile which the liner passes thro, then bricks up to the top with another floor tile, the liner passes thro this and stands proud by about 50mm then the top and the 500mm pot is cemented up.

    Hi one and all. Don't buy a thatched place as they are more trouble than they are worth. Been in ours for 25 years and this year the insurance are being a real pain in the arse, in that the 2 wood burners we use with flexie liners have to have the chimneys insulated as well. The only problem with this is that both chimneys have been recently rebuilt and are sealed up so any suggestions as to what insulating materials i can use and how i can get it into the chimney liner void. I presume they are referring to vamiculite beads. One of the chimneys is on a unthatched part and is 10M from the thatch and they still want this one done as well.

    in our village we had a chap who would turn up in a Austin curtain sided lorry full of everything a housewife needed to run the house, salt in loaf size blocks that he would slice of pieces. Paraffin heaters. Being bathed in the kitchen sink as we didn't have a bath. A bottle of Vimto from the pub. Riding in the corn trailer and holding on at the top when tipping. When TV ended at 12 with the test card and started in the afternoon.

    Hi all, a friend of mine who runs Oak-apple frames is having trouble getting hold of some curved Oak for a Rotunda roof they have to make for a client. The specs are 2.1M long with a 200mm - 250mm deflection and 160mm X 65mm section. Quantity 26 in total. They can saw slabs on their own mill if required. Check out their website some nice stuff on the gallery.

    <p>Hi interested in the Brack-N you have, how much for 5L. Thanks</p>

    Thank for the replies so far. The woods are an ex forestry commission Douglas fir plantation so its fairly featureless and uniform, although their are some good hardwoods the remains of the old wood. We would like to keep the kids all together around the camp fire area. As its 25 acres we did not want to loose any. Already have a slack line course set up for our kids. Last year we pinned 20 questions to some trees in a marked area, so they had to find the questions to answer them. The thing they liked the best was a fir i cut down over the track which they could jump up and down on to get it to bounce, 30 kids bouncing on a tree was fun.

    hi all, i have the local youth club coming over for an evening of fun in the woods. I'm looking for suggestions for games they can play, they range from 10 to 16 year old and about 30 in total, girls and boys. Shall be doing hot dogs on the open fire for them and will get the pizza oven fired up.

    They should cost more to the customer as surely they will get a lot more 6inch logs if you sell by the cube or in a dumpy bag than larger logs. Any one willing to count them. Plus the extra time cutting and splitting.

    Well done and now you can enjoy it. Reminds me of our woods we brought from the forestry commission 7 years ago , 22 acres of 50 year old douglas on an ancient woodland site. It was sealed bids and as we had lived in the middle 0f it for 2o years it it was a worrying time as we had treated it as are own anyway and the thought of someone else owning it and restricting our use would spoil our lifestyle. Anyway the commission land agent after numerous phone calls was on our side so suggested on the day we gave him 2 sealed envelopes, one with our highest bid and one with the lowest, which i took down to his office an hour before the closing time. He rang us later that afternoon to say we got it but at the highest bid, It turned out that the under bidder was Woodlands.co who on the day brought another wood just 1 field away, who then split it into 5 small parcels and sold them a silly prices, so a close call their.

    Hi bolthole, they look nice, hav'nt had any for years, but make sure they are white all the way through, as the first time i had some i did not know this, the first ones i had had started to turn yellow and by heck did i ever feel ill afterwards. Learnt my lesson and enjoyed them ever since.
