  1. Was going to go Ltd this month.
  2. I'm a one man band, sub contracting and small contracts, bit of domestic occasionally. I've been advised by a good mate that I should sign on universal credit. I can't express my desire strongly enough with words not to sign on. Self employed support is a bad joke. Can't get through to my bank or hmrc. As I've said in another thread, I've spent over twelve years of my life building my business up, to see it all grind to a halt in a fortnight. What's everyone else doing?
  3. Same reason you haven't I've got a business to run. ???[emoji106]
  4. There's an old 3ph Saw on eBay. Thought about using fir milling. Then thought hmmmmmm. 5kg battery and transformer. 10-30 seconds run time is proof of concept? Just don't want it to explode.... [emoji848][emoji106]
  5. Thanks fir the replies. I still don't see any technical issues other than a huge transformer? One day a tesla wall will fit in the palm of your hand.
  6. My wife and I just had a 30 second conversation about feeding some grapes to the chickens. My wife thought they may be harmful. So typed in: Can chickens eat The first option before I'd finished typing the above was: Can chickens eat grapes?
  7. Does this mean it runs on single phase at 12 amps?
  8. Battery backpack time? [emoji106]
  9. Needs to be 3kw. Even if I get 30 seconds run time. [emoji106]
  10. I'm not great with electrickery, But I was wondering how to get 3phase power from lithium batteries? Is it possible? Transformers? Serious question. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  11. Anyone needs help or has any tree work? [emoji106]
  12. If you put the 2stroke oil in first, you can't forget it. [emoji848]
  13. Husky combi cans are crap. They leak within 3-4 months. We've all made that mistake. Just bite the bullet and get a stihl one with anti spill spouts. I've had mine 4 years. [emoji106]
  14. Order stihl motomix from dealer. Collect. Every time. [emoji6][emoji106]
  15. Get back into milling J... Looks like an opportunity... [emoji6][emoji106]
  16. Tiny cut 1" deep at front, Back cut to hinge, Felling lever in and over. Or as hicap says staggered step cut. [emoji106]
  17. Yup. My regular subbie is in the same boat. Less than 1 year trading. [emoji107][emoji107][emoji107]
  18. Deferral. Build up a mountain of debt? If I had to pay 3-4 months bills in one go I'd be bankrupt. I've spent over 12 years investing in skills,training,machinery and a list of other crap too long to mention. Sacrificed so much to be able to run a self sustaining business. I started with a wheel barrow and a dying domestic chainsaw mate. I've never had help from banks or other institutions. Never had a bank loan or any other. Paid for all my own tickets, All my own kit. And now I should just sell it all get a job in tescos???????????? Literally over my cold dead body. ????? Essential work? Yeah. Being able to support my family is essential. That's why I've got to go out to work. I hope you get your 80% furlough mate, Genuinely. I know you've got a tribe to care for too. [emoji106]
  19. 20% discount for NHS or emergency service personnel. [emoji106]
  20. Les you're a proper gem. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  21. Kevin, Re read this post. You've just insulted every SE business. What happened? You started taking stupid pills or summat?
  22. I also do something else in Arb, but it's an industry secret. Can't disclose anything on tinterweb. Desperate for work!!! Got a family to feed and no help.
  23. Yep, Got no choice. Getting no help from Gov. Anyone need a hand? [emoji106]
