  3. Hi, Just wondering if anyone has an expression of interest template that i could take a look at? Ive been asked by a private customer to send him one as he works for a housing agency. Any help would be very much appriciated as im terrible at writing these things. Thank You

  9. just said tackle doesnt come out for free but the quote in question doesn't include any kit other than a saw and the stump is being retained
  10. aaaarrr right i agree if your running tackle you need to charge. someone said that about their grinder, it doesnt come out for free even for mates. cant argue against that, the things cost a fortune
  11. by that i did not mean that you dont need insurance and i agree that you are stupid to not have it. however if someone was to pass their CS30/31 and get some insurance that still does not make that person a professional.
