  1. sounds to me you are only falling foul of putting the shed closer than 2M to the boundary right ? This means permitted development doesn't apply. Lets ignore the work issue, as you wont work from home and they cant prove you do. Just because you have work gear at home doesn't mean anything. It also doesn't matter your front garden looks like a pikey site, its your garden to do as you will with. Bang in an application you will get it approved 99%. If they refuse, which they wont, then appeals are free. Take some pics or use google earth and find 20 sheds within half a mile built close to fences and keep it in your back pocket.
  2. the kubota can be towed legally with buckets on the pickup. alumax trailer is 500kg, machine is 2.99!
  3. the high spec 3 tonner with dual circuits is 23k then however much the tilty is. and you get 3 years warranty and zero hours. better investment than any ISA sub 3 tonners.
  4. pretty expensive for something thats done 4k hours. Brand new kubota only a couple grand more.
  5. on the plus side, you can write off bad debt against your tax. So make sure you charged all the interest you can to run it up as large as possible.
  6. found an interesting coin that pays interest . https://bit.diamonds/ let the coins sit in the wallet, with wallet open and it 'mints' or pays interest so your coin pile increases. As with most of the alt-coin market prices have dropped so good time to buy in. As allways dont put your life savings in, but a couple hundred quid worth a punt. It's currently dat at $7 and was at $40 in Jan, its never had a price that it hasnt subsequent beaten. Never know it may pay for the summer hols.....
  7. not all brickies want site work as its variable and you have to crack out the numbers day in dayout. Also have to travel to sites a long ways. Not everyones cup of tea. some prefer more reliable local work and 150 is the going rate in midlands. obviously some more some less depending on skill and speed etc
  8. brickie 150 chippy 160 plumber 180 all less 20% CIS. More in london, more expenses as well.
  9. they m they may be wrong in terms of the law and paperwork BUT its your time they are successfully wasting. With Councils you have to bob and weave, pick your fights.
  10. not sure I have an application for it but its on my christmas list
  11. high tip is better to save double handling getting them on the pickup. We hire in Hinowa ones infrequenty in the building (all too small to be usefull) and they are ok and take some stick.
  12. dont forget you will lose holiday pay, sick pay and redundancy. 120 less 20% for tax leaves your boss a saving as he wont be paying NIC for you anymore as well as all the above. As an employer this would be a no brainer for me. Of course it may not be about the money from your bosses point of view......
  13. just hire in a bloody crane for an hour!
  14. 5% buyers premium. Even so, a lot of motor for the money. Hate to think what we paid for these originally.
  15. you need to be looking at canal boats mate you lanky sod!
  16. to give you an example, the engcon tilt and hitch is 140kg on our new 2.9 ton kubota. It replaces the factory hitch and pins in that weight.
  17. i see an issue using that to load from the heap!
  18. they will do it for you. IT will be the county council and for us in worcestershire they dont charge.
  19. get the wheelbarrow out you lazy git !!!!
  20. nope its N1. The fact that the V5 is wrong isnt your problem, as long as you comply with it. Definitely a loophole but if you wanted the ability to carry 10 ton of chip and stay legal on a car licence this is a mighty attractive solution I would say!
  21. it doesnt have one as it yank. Here is what it has.
  22. thats why its far far better than C1E, as long as your an old git!
  23. from https://www.gov.uk/driving-licence-categories
  24. no. No limit on trailer weight with B+E thats what makes it unique!
  25. So there is a yankee pickup on the bay, with V5 etc. It's plated as 3500kg and has a train weight on the V5 of 11 tons! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-F250-7-3-Powerstroke-4X4-Auto/282804180870?hash=item41d8715786:g:W6YAAOSwnodakWwD so car licence B+E, assume a ton of trailer and you can legally tow 10 tons without any of thet C1 nonsense! here is the V5
