how do people feel about 60/40 eg  In a 60-40 portfolio, 60% of assets are invested in stocks and 40% in bonds—often government bonds. The reason it has been popular over the years is that traditionally, in a bear market, the government bond portion of a portfolio has functioned as insurance by providing income to cushion stock losses.

it cant loose money unless every share and stock fails and as you spread the money over alot of stocks, i think it gives a great return and is nicknamed 60/40 no brainers a radio financial guru is always on about in ireland. 

We dont have isa in ireland sadly

glue nope duct tape or the tyre repair rubber and stick into hole

one of the big fairs is going to hit Ireland next weekend, now these boys have makita bosch, hilti stihl husqvarana, and other pro builders and tree surgeons tools. alot of travelers.   

If you planted trees in land or if they grow themselves, the land is unable to generate reps or other grants and so you lose money by planting trees for agroforesrty in Ireland. This has happened to several neighboring farmer I know.

if they were doing stumps they should have one of these shredder

right now is the best time, to have it for winter or else wait till winter when there are less leaves, 

people buy cheap stoves, or use coal which warps the sides of a stove, I have seen cracks in welds due to heat which damaged the boiler in the back, it was fine for non boiler applications. 

A chipper is an expensive piece of equipment that could be destroyed easily so answer should be no, if its a bonfire sure go ahead, but no chiper

. People pay for something they want and aspire to have, ie. buildings, which are A)-an investment. B)-permentant and C)-regulated by masses of red tape, thus weeding out the real low-ball operators. Tree removals, and really, apart from occasional reductions and remedial work that's mostly what we do, isn't it? are not something people want to pay for. Its a troublesome expense for folks, and so they don't value it, like having the septic tank emptied or the car fixed.

by that merit the roofers must be doing okay, if you dont have a roof or a leaky roof, that is something to fix right now, regardless (more or less) of cost, where landscape or gardening can be done in a few years

I know its mainly builders however https://www.facebook.com/stolentradetoolsuk/
