I talk to a lot of groundworkers who do the large estates for taylor wimpey, barrets, bovis etc. Rather than dig footings etc fast as they can, they're now having to do a few, wait for the last chunk of housing to be built and sold before they do more. So still plenty going on, just they're not selling before they've come out the ground so developers are a bit more cautious I think. And as you say they're probably not rushing to get all their sites started. But as people get used to higher interest rates things will probably pick up. Its been easy for a long time.

What are peoples thoughts on Chesneys, good or bad?
-
Yea just sounds a bit wacky but apparently they're very well built🤷♂️
-
I was about to post this exact question. Had a reputable experienced installer round this week who said start by looking at charnwood, stovax, heta or, wait for it.. 'chili penguin' (made in wales). I've previously had good experience with chesneys. But interested to know what really stand the test of time with regular use... This installer quoted £1200 to install, chimney liner, sign it off etc. This reasonable?

Grade 2 Listed Building - What if different species of tree planted
NJA replied to NightOwl's topic in Trees and the Law
Grade 2 listing will very likely only apply to the house itself, there isn't a definitive list of what is and isn't included it very much comes down to the local officer. Insurance company won't look back at old planning details Ivery much doubt, but when the insurance was bought they would have asked if the house was listed, and if there are any trees within 20m/over 5m high etc etc, I'd just check the correct information was given to them as this makes up the policy? -
I did tell you😂😂 that's why I was convinced I needed the scag. But appreciate the advice and v happy with this. Now I've got it down I'll probably keep it a bit shorter. The real long stuff is the oxeye daisy's. Only using it on the flat really so should be fine. I borrowed one of those husqvarnas a few weeks ago, really impressed they get anywhere and leave a really good finish. Just joking can't justify anything else for the time being😏😔

Fully agree with this!
-
Well... got flogged this thing by @doobin - good to meet you pal. Thats the paddocks cracked out. Think I'll be finding excuses to do deals on more stuff in that barn of yours...

Just this, if there's an accident on site and you were found to know about said druggie but did nothing, I'd imagine you'd have the book thrown at you? Employee fulfilled his responsibility by telling you, at the moment its with you until you can prove you acted on it.

I thought petrol was only introduced by manufacturers to bring weight of machine down and lower emissions... if these aren't an issue then diesel?
-
Pretty sure its just the colour. Henry Xtra comes with the carpet brush as an extra.
-
Fully agree on this, never touch a Dyson again, Henry all day long they're bullet proof. We've got a £500 dyson and a £120 henry the dyson never leaves cupboard. Something with a spinny carpet brush is what you want, which Henry do now don't use traditional fixed brush head.
-
Good advice! Every time you put prices up a few customers drop off the bottom... keep doing this until demand meets supply?
-
I used to reckon 2 bags per m2 of cordwood, unvented bags may have been 80x80? But may give a rough guide?
-
Although you might cover the cost of the kit which is maybe your plan, doubt you'd get enough money in to really make a difference... these big hire companies make their money buying and selling the machines, not really from the hires. Can see what you're thinking tho, with the kit just sitting there...

I should have made it clear I'm not exactly endorsing not using your local dealer, lot to be said for having a good relationship with local dealer. But from purely a financial point of view I don't think a fiver is unreasonable to get products to you.
-
I think delivery charge is fair enough. Who can honestly say they can jump in their truck, drive to a local dealer and back, taking into account their time out the business and fuel and it won't cost a lot more than a fiver? I'd rather have a flat rate across the board rather than spending time looking through website, go all through the checkout procedure not knowing if carriage will be £2 or £15. Everyone knows nothing is free in this world, if someone is offering free delivery it must be covered in the cost of the products? But that's just me.

But hats off to you, 2 ops is one thing, 7 - 10 is something else!😩

General is way better than being 'sedated', when you're half awake but your brain is completely scrambled and going flat out trying to work out what is going on, and you're trying to work out how you got into this weird place in your head you can't get out of. Then when you wake up you can't support your head or limbs for hours. Horrible experience
