expensive too
-
that has happened with a stove company up here but they havent managed to step up yet
-
last two times we had gear taken didnt bother because we knew who it was, the police knew and couldnt do anything. a silver vectra spotting car and a white escort van doing the lifting
-
i changed from ldv to iveco about two years ago now after 20 years of ldv and i regret selling them off. just replace with genuine parts and it will go on forever. oh and not nearly as expensive as iveco

all the pictures are taken in the dark instead of a lovely sunny day. ldvs are really tough basic machines, the best place to get one is at an ex council auction, where there is 40 odd to choose from and they go for next to scrap value for a basically new truck...

almost finished! fitted some windows this evening:001_smile:

lol thats one way to double your bill! if you have two businesses you have to submit two or three returns
-
very hard! they get stuck to muddy boots:laugh1:

my accountant was £1200 last return after me preparing everything on spreadsheet that took about 5 days. i think their price reflects the amount of receipts you have, try get an account with a local petrol station so you have one print out for the whole year

one year we let a well respected ag consultant have a field. they organised a crop of barley but did it by the book, put too much fert down, half dozen different sprays etc. when harvest came the weather was poor, the heavy crop lay flat and wet. so off to the grain dryer quite costly... our half of the harvest was cut a few days later perfect! the theory is good but you really need to have a life times experience before doing something like that. oh and there is already well established powerful competition

have you had any experience with the gardener 180?

Holder A55 igland 3000 double drum winch, blade and wheel weights. I am currently replacing oil seals/gaskets, will be done by the weekend. reconditioned rams, new hydraulics and all new filters, re-threaded the starter studs and the clutch is in new condition. no longer required

expect a breakdown very soon. a nailgun should be well serviced otherwise you put unnecessary strain on working parts- i learnt the hard way
-
thanks for the posts! what would be the ideal mc%? i dont have much dry oak ready, so would need to cut more
-
yes but a good gun. you cant really beat an air nailer only issue is thin air lines can freeze onwards of -10 deg

hi everyone. I fancy building a showmans wagon but how would you make wooden wheels? i gather there is more than one type of wood used and will need metal bands to hold her together. how would you go about it?? thanks in advance
-
i see where you are coming from, i was after a great days work

thats a fair point and first sorry to have caused folks upset. as firewood is one of my main jobs i bought wood from a land owner and felled the trees as everyone else dose. when i was finished the land owner asked if i would look at the 3 elm in her garden, i did and felled them professionally so she was delighted and asked how much i would like? having paid for her other trees i said i would do it for the wood. the elm were dead for a few years so virtually all seasoned and ready to sell. the branches were cut in to nets and the smaller stuff was cut as kindling into nets (people love hardwood kindling) so i left the site with two and a half loads of firewood (2.2m3 per load so 5.5m3 and about 15 large nets i sold for £6 each) you do the math 5.5 x £70m3 + £6 x 15 = £475
-
i dont rely on tree surgery for day to day wages and dont really understand how mind blowing quotes are accepted. at my last domestic job i removed 3 elm from a garden where a previous outfit quoted £800 quite a nasty job with phone lines, buildings, walls, public roads, sentimental shrubs all under the trees that were leaning badly in the wrong direction. i had them down and removed for free with the firewood value easily covering 2 folks wages and expenses. i loved it:thumbup:
-
i had the same problems. have to have the blades the correct distance apart to let the logs open as they split. i almost put mine to thainstone auction just about had enough!
-
very nice!
-
when are you planning to build?
-
i will be heading down south this summer, could i have a look?
