  3. Totally josh which is why a lot of the lads have mentioned they avoid it where possible. Day rate is used in construction a lot so different to arb work. Big J uses guys on hourly rates i believe but then that is cutters in forestry work.
  4. I had the estate and it was gutsy on fuel
  5. Twin weber carbs on the 2 litre models and good cars they were
  6. How long is a piece of string scenario. I sub contract to 2 firms from time to time and my day rate is £25 hourly as a chippy or £200 a day so how ever many days/hrs i work that is what i get paid regardless of how long a job takes. That is why its called a day rate
  7. Your are really agreeing a price before hand not a day rate
  8. That is not a day rate is it mark ? that is an agreed price for days the will job will take between both parties.
  9. Muppet get back to your shovel 😆

  11. Wednesday at 18:39 New Add bookmark #286 A man owned a small ranch near Great Falls, Montana. The Montana Labour Department got a tip that he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an investigator out to interview him. "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the investigator. "Well," replied the rancher, "there's my ranch hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $1200 a week plus free room and board." "The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $1000 per week plus free room and board." "Then there's the half-wit. He works about 18 hours every day, with no days off, and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week and pays his own room and board." "But, I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night, and he also sleeps with my wife occasionally." "That's the guy I want to talk to... the half-wit," says the investigator. "You're talking to him," replied the rancher.
  12. You can apply for a licence to process phytopthera on your on premises so may be worth looking into.

  18. Get stuffed you and a part timer at best on here.You preach me none sir
  19. Bill when you mill logs they become valuable but also each one will have a story in the grain, Mill the lot 1/3 through the middle into 100-150 mm slabs and store them in the dry (barn/sheds) with 10-15mm spacers around 24" apart.Rest use for the sheds
  20. Totally kev and superb explained 🤙
  21. Sound like Big J here musch
  22. Can you keep the pecker up mr stubbs
  23. You have milled it to thin then matty.All my logs are sealed on the ends asap when they are cut down or i get them and you mill any slab at 100+ mm it will not do any different to being a stem if stored in the dry
  24. Why leave it matty ? Mill the slabs off at 110mm and let then season which is better
  25. Afraid of heights are you musch 🙃 Pussy
