I started my business with Ryobi stuff cos it was all i could afford. Every single tool bar none died within 1 week and 1 year. I'm talking about 10 different tools also. I spit on the ground when I hear Ryobi.

Yeah sounds like BS speak to me. It's either necessary or not. Expediency has nothing to do with it.

You must have gotten unlucky. I buy them wherever. Mrbattery on ebay I think. I've never had a problem. All batteries last 2-5 years approx with continuously re charging and dropping them on site etc etc. x1 5ah generic battery lasts me 4-6 hours with the 18V makita hedge trimmer. I use that for delicate trimming of leylandi cos it's light and quiete and if you cable tie the trigger you can use it arms reach whit one hand. FYI another great Makita tool that serves a purpose if used in the correct application.

I have a makita 36v battery chainsaw. It's not a pro saw but I use it ALL the time as it's quiet, hassle free, light, can use one handed and due to it's slow chain speed which is not ideal for arborists but it's ultra safe. Have to be a moron to have an accident with it. Batteries last ages. Generic ones work just as well and are much cheaper too. I have multiple makita stuff so have 15 batteries approx and know for a fact the cheap ones are as good are genuine ones. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Makita-DUC302Z-Cordless-Li-Ion-Chainsaw/dp/B00M215BO0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523823681&sr=8-1&keywords=makita+36v+chainsaw

I think that adding another problem is not helping solve an existing one. Go massively harder on welfare claimants so they HAVE to do the jobs that are available to them and control immigration by making any welfare claimed a loan to the immigrants. It's utter crap anyway. There is simply no excuse for an able bodied person to not have a job and never has been unless they are mentally deficient. In which case then they should be entitled to welfare, unlike the career benefit scroungers.

I feel loved! Shucks :-)

Sorting the driveway tomorrow. Gonna empty the shed and try and drag it 6 inches so I can install a gutter stopping water running onto the fence. Got no where to put the stump grinder ATM and the shed has already been viewed with it in so dunno.. Bloody house is not large. Not huge amount of storage and no garage so it's not infeasible to have a large shed for storage and it is within government spec. I am hearing what's being said though. Obviously I think it's a bit tight. 50/50 but worth fighting.
-
Dunno. I'm really not in there that much. It's only been full built a matter of weeks. I wheel the odd thing in and out and clean/ sharpen my chainsaw in there is all.

Here's a link to the letter I received from LA. If anyone knows anything about this kind of stuff I'd love to hear your views. Ta https://www.dropbox.com/s/11jb68qq642c22g/20180414_094304.jpg?dl=0

Yep any fool can see it's unsustainable. When you crunch the numbers you have to conclude that it must be some kind of planned sabotage to society. It makes zero sense and any high school kid could tell you it is not sustainable.

you can't be serious... That's the same as gay!

She's just got the oddest facial mannerisms imaginable....

Employed a local planning consultant. He's visiting next week. His advice was the same. Do NOT apply for planning permission, you wont get it and you don't need it. Seems to think that if I have planning rights or something or other on my property, which most have, then I'm within the law and highly unlikely I'll be forced to take it down.

Not all! The few young guys who work for me now and then all know what hard work is. That said, give me and Irishman, Scotsman or a Pole any day over the "average" Englishman. Dunno why..
-
I have a feeling he's moral but I'm also disillusioned. I wouldn't like to say one way or the other but he's my best option at the moment.
-
Well ok. For example, aside from all the times I've heard him speak on matters, when he was shut down by those antifa idiots, not only did he walk up to them right away and talk openly and calmly to them, after the fact he said they weren't bad people, nor did he think they were aggressive. I thought that was decent of him, since they showed him less than zero respect. As I say, I just think he's a genuine chap.
-
hmmm. Derisive micro aggression. Clever retort. Substantive!

The people next door up to 5 years ago had a shed the same size that was there for years before I was. It was also green.... When I put it up I said, "IF I get any problems over this it will be that prick" Low and behold....

Just goes to show how different we all perceive things. Mogg always strikes me as very earnest. Never goes low either it seems. Just says it how he sees it.
-
they "suggest" I apply for retrospective planning permission and state I have 28 days to do so... Hmmm, suggest hey... they offered their informal opinion that it's unlikely I'll get the permission.. Cheers Kevin ;-)
-
Indeed Mick lol. I had the same thoughts...

I tend not to gamble. I looked at the government regulation and according to them, assuming I wasn't actually working in the dwelling, it should be legal. Local authorities, evidently, have their own criteria. I'm very surprised by this. I'm not sure what my next move is going to be but I intend to obviously contest it in some way or another.
-
Ah! Yeah I think him saying, yeah thanks, everything's fine, was him saying yeah I'm good, I'll go off and write this up and screw you over. They probably don't like to cause confrontation at the premises. The guy is saying it's not in keeping. He seemed quite sound as is going to ask around the office for opinions on what I can do to fall in line with this arbitrary "in keeping" scenario. I'm also going to pay for retrospective planning application just on the off chance I win it but if I don't I guess I'll have to cut some of it down. But again the question is how much needs to be cut down to fall into the "in keeping" scenario.
-
Of course I didn't! What's your point please?
