Morning all, sunny but very blustery in Bolton. Won’t be much cleaning up to do today hopefully 😂🍃🍃, hedge trimming and quotations on the cards. I’m certainly ready for the weekend though 😅
-
Hi, anyone know if these would work on a genny for scanning for media/BT cables, if I clipped it around the cable where it comes up from the ground into the house?. Or is there a simpler or easier solution?.

Hi, anyone know the size of the Dowty washers that fit on the bolt that connects the hoses to the drive motor on an FSI B22?

You thought about the Iveco Arb truck? Slightly more expensive but comes with all the extras as standard. We looked at the Grafter but there just wasn’t enough room or in cab storage for us. theres a video demo on FB, here’s the link Facebook M.FACEBOOK.COM

Any update on what van you preferred/chose? We picked up our new Iveco Arb tipper on Tuesday, feels like a proper truck and has all the little extras on like air con, diff lock and loads of useful storage. I’ll keep you updated on how it goes after a month or so of putting it through its paces 👌🏻

Unfortunately I’m off to the lakes today until Sunday

Morning all, off to Ambleside for a long weekend. Sunny but very breezy up in Bolton. Have a great day 👌🏻. still awaiting my pushy stick @PeteB 😂😂
-
Turn up at dealership, drink coffee, drive home. Paid skiving at work 😂😂

https://fb.watch/sWO6s3VKbJ/? Worth a look at the Iveco Arb tipper (video in the link), the Grafter was way too compact for us with little in cab storage, and very basic interior. I know most arb firms have them but it wasn’t for us. The Iveco felt much more truck built rather than an American fridge freezer 😂.

Prices are crazy at the moment, we were in Ambleside over the weekend, I know it’s a tourist place so prices are generally higher, but over £6 for a pint, £4-5 for a coffee and average £15 for burger and chips, before you know it it’s nearing £50 for a couple to have (what used to be) a cheap lunch out. Throw a couple of kids in the mix and that’s £100 gone in less than an hour.

BNC, cheers for the info. It’s more for the perimeter detection alarms I need. But mine says “cctv exceeded device max analysis channel threshold”
-
Evening, any CCTV buffs on here? I’m running 5 Hikvision ColorVU 5mp cameras, and trying to set perimeter alerts on 2 of these, but apparently my dvr isn’t fast/capable enough (when I google the error message). Anyone recommend a Hikvision dvr that’s suitable? Don’t want to just guess at one and end up in the same situation. Thanks 👌🏻

Morning all, grey and drizzly in the North West. Given myself the day off and I’m already bored, trip to the butchers to get some goodies, and measure up for a self build roof rack on the d-max canopy. Have a great day all 👍
-
As the title, anyone running one of the newer ones? If so any feedback. Currently torn between this and the grafter, Iveco swings it with all the extras and the bigger cab but you don’t see many around compared to the grafter. Are they bomb proof or a bag of spanner’s? Looking for long term reliability.

Photo would be great if possible 👍🏻

Potentially sold subject to them getting finance.

How did becoming VAT registered change your business?
Shaunpaul replied to Excels1or's topic in General chat
Just about to take the leap myself, subject to what a visit to an accountant holds this week, are most people doing domestic work on this post? It is worrying to think customers won’t want to pay the VAT and qo with the cheaper quote though, but at the same time its hassle to remain under the threshold. -
Morning all, grey and gloomy in Bolton. A lazy day ahead indoors as to avoid the crowds 😆

wet verses dry - chipping christmas trees
Shaunpaul replied to Jen57's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Maybe put your location on and someone may offer to help (local tree surgeon) also think about letting them tip off chip throughout the year and add yourself to the local tip site directory on this site. -
Did you opt for the 1.9 or the 3.0? Cheers for the info above.
-
Yes
-
Seems to be the in thing at the moment, there’s loads of ex Asda vans near me with arb backs on, high miles and near the £30k mark.
-
I’ve just been quoted £48k for a grafter LWB with arb back.
-
Morning all, apparently I’m a miserable sod for wanting to take the tree down. I don’t dislike Christmas, but I’ll be glad when everything’s over 😂. Might fire chipper up and process some of this leftover food. Have a great day everyone 👍

Looking at upgrading the 08 plate transit tipper as its looking and feeling a little tired now, however both used and new prices just seem crazy since Covid. Can anyone see prices falling anytime soon with all this cost of living crisis, interest rates and a recession on the horizon?. The guy at the dealership says there’s an increase in January of £1000 on a new van, and even the tow bar is an additional item, seems ridiculous you can buy a terraced house in some areas for the price of what they want for a brand new van with a shocking payload. Thinking the sensible option would be hang fire for 6 months and see what happens, in the meantime make do and mend. hope everyone has an enjoyable Christmas and best wishes for 2024 🎄
