I have been asked to quote for an area of artifical grass and i was wondering if any of you have done any and how you went about laying it, its mainly how you have secured it on the edges an along the joints, i have done some in the past and it was quite succesful but would like to hear how others do it/ have done it. Thank, william.

Costa Coffe et al is weak milky rubbish right?

We try and get our coffee from mcdonalds or greggs when we are traveling at work, cheaper and more reliable. -
I got a 3.0 isuzu trooper the a couple of weeks ago, swb comercial, will do 32-4 to the gallon ( but not with me driving!), enormous back, double back doors mean it can be loaded with a fork lift and it will tow 3.3 ton:thumbup1: And they go for buttons these days, i paid £720 for mine with just 99k on the clock, its now on 101k after just 2 weeks:ohmy:

Because i can earn far more money than i could if i was employed, the same people keep re useing me so i must be doing something right, i can have time off during the week or work weekends when i want, and im building up a barn full of assets:thumbup:

I have stanley tylon 8 mtrs, you can get them at about 2 for £12 on offer at screwfix alot of the time, tape measures are fairly disposable when you work outside, i n my opinion.

I have been asked by a new customer to price upre pointing a patio, but they would like me to use a mix suitable for the age of the house(1500s). I have been advised that i need to use a hydraulic lime mix and have found the ratios i need online but does anyone have any advice please, is this a sensible mix etc, and has anyone done anything similar? This is a new client and an interstiing project, so i want to do my research and get it right, thanks, william.

I work for myself doing landscaping, tractor work and logs, and for the first time in the 9 years i have been doing it i could work for my own customers (as in direct for the homeowner) 5 days a week:thumbup: But!! I usually spend 4 or more days a week subbing for my dad, so i need 9 day weeks at the moment:thumbup: But!!! I also do alot of site work for an engineer, installing acoustic enclousures,he could probably use me 4 days a week at the moment, so i need 13 days a week :thumbup: But!!!! I need at least 1 day a week to do the maintinence on the trucks and machines and keep the log pile in good order, so i actual need 14 days a week:thumbup: 7 days aweek and im too tired to waste money on beer and kebabs!! Life is good:001_cool:

Looking on line it seems like the max towing weight is 2 ton, not really enough for me, back to looking for a Trooper i think.
-
Mpg sounds good enough for my needs, do you know what it will leagally tow though? I can easily check when i go and look at it, but its nice to be prepared. Checking for rust is standard procedure for me as im a land rover man!
-
Has anyone got one of the above and if so what are they like, thirst, towing capacity etc? Thanks, william.

I finaly got these 2 lumps into th e barn today, they are about 3 meters long by about 50 cm diameter oak. I am planning on buying an alaskan mill and milling them up with the view to getting 2inch boards and planks suitable for making benches. Whats the best way of going about it? Thanks.

When i work for my mate doing generator/acoustic instalations(about 1 day a week on average) we go all over the place, tommorow we are going from hertford to warrington, about a 400mile round trip for hopefully 2 hours on site,, we have been working in redhill for a month, about 2 hours each way, that seems to be about average.
-
One we did a couple of years ago, half brick, rough cut cladding, reclaimed doors and windows, tiled roof, pot bellied stove and built in log store. Oh and a rabbit proofed veg garden in front.
-
Another good point, i have seen a couple advertised as ter checked so was in the back of my mind , thanks.
-
Thanks very much for the pm, lots to look into there, as i said above the budget has been increased to 6ish k, so a bit better. The yanmar we have at the moment has impressed me no end, i will post some pics tommorow of what i have been doing with it.
-
Iv seen that companys website, thanks. I think our new plan is to get this months jobs done with the hire machine which should let us increase the budget to 6k or so, then gather all the funds into 1 acount (or envelope!!so that i can move quickly when i see one.
-
We have a a p6e, we have had it 10 years now, its had 2 sets of bearings and a couple of sets of lights, nothing else. We have moved a mini digger with it a couple of times and the last time we had it on a weighbridge it was 1.4 ton!! I dread to think how many thousands of tons of stuff we have moved eith it over the years, very tough, wouldnt be without it!
-
I think thatvwill be what happens, the tb016 really do seem popular! Thanks.
-
How often do we hire one? Too often, maybe one week a month, we currently have one booked for a months hire. Im sure if we owned one we would use it even more, i can think of several upcoming or just done jobs that we could use one on but it wouldnt be worth hireing one for.
-
I do like the takeuchis, have seen your ones on the arb diggers thread. I learnt to dig with a peljob when i was 6! What you say about the all the big ones being similar seems to be what iv read on other threads. If we cant get one for our budget we will keep hireing, wont be the end of the world but just seems like money down the drain. Thanks.

We are looking to buy a 1.5 ton digger, we have a budget of about 4k, i know this is bottom end but so was all the rest of our machinery and we havnt done too bad so far.so: Does anyone in the south east have one for sale? How many hours would be considered too high? What do people think of various makes? From reading on hear jcbs are comsidered underpowered, everything else seems well regarded? We have hired jcbs, kubotas, and tachouchis(spelling?), and have a yanmar on hire at the moment, all have seemed perfectly good to me. Thanks, william.
-
Thanks for the offer but we have hired a normal 1.5 tonne for a month, wont be as good for hedgeing work but we have a lot of fencing and digging to do with it as well.

Nothing wrong with that colour:001_smile:
