It's not Essex

 

[TiltyShaun]

He’s a member of our household and it remains within our residential curtilage etc
Remember lockdown when he lived here.
I’d rather not discuss this on an open forum
Just giving a family member a better chance in life

Your first sentence is all you need to comply with for a mobile home.
Well done for being in a position that you can make the last sentence!!

 

[6feetdown]

does that need planning Dave?
wait 'til the (probably bankrupt) LA wants to charge you council tax .. (particularly as you're gonna hook it up to services)

Don't tell them

Thanks Shaun
It’s good that we leave a legacy for future generations
We will both be 70 and celebrating our Golden Wedding this year
Time to relax, enjoy life and make a difference

Quick broadband duct job...
My farmer friend said to me, "Can you just run in some duct for broadband. They are coming to install it next week"

So got the gas stove and kettle loaded into the Nirvana...

And after a bit of hand digging for the connection duct, got on with it....

Got pissed off listening to Jeremy Wine so switched to Smooth Chill.
Joined 50m to another 50m before lunch...

Marker tape was a right pain in the high winds....

But decided to do it in one loooong day rather than 2 easy days with rain on the way...
Another nice job jobbed

You know that smell of burning clutch or brake linings?
Got home as it was getting dark and the Ifor brakes were binding on. One wheel hub was so hot you couldn't touch it
Suspecting the Bowden Cables are seized. Moved it with the big red hook in the morning.
Brake service to be done real soon.....

I'm with Motia and it's 127.10

just playing devil's advocate Dave ....
these bankrupt councils'll try it on with any excuse to claw more out of your wallet
apparently there are lots of LA,s citing 'garden rooms' as taxable now, especially if they have any form of water service installed and a flushing toilet is an absolute no no
calling them additional habitable accommodation
big re-valuation for council tax coming this year too

Shame he wasn't squashed when he did that video of him bike riding, it only showed him up and did push bikers no favours getting deliberately into a vans blind spot and saying it wasn't him at fault.

It’s why I stream stuff like Smooth Chill on the old Bose noise canceling headphones
Even has a nice chat on the phone with my brother and he couldn’t hear the Yanmar grunting away

It's not a issue if it's close enough to the main dwelling

I bought a garden plot last year with a static in and hooked up to all services. I think they even ran the gas to it. Used to have their gran in. Well overgrown and dilapidated now. I thought about applying for cert of lawfulness on it but best to just keep it off the radar. Hoping to put planning in when this silly BNG scheme gets dropped.

Another little "Can you just..." job for my neighbour James who lives two doors away.
He demolished the old workshop and wants to extend the slab to build a bigger and better one.
"Dave can you just dig it out about 250 deep"

So rocked up first thing, the traffic was horrendous

Slabs removed and scraped of the top soil stuff for the low spots in his garden...

Then put the sub soil to one side ready for 'muck away' to my stock pile...

Didn't bother with my laser and dug it out 'by eye'. James checked with his bubble - spot on. "You can't teach that"

Another job jobbed for me by lunchtime

James will be building up with 'hardcore', Type 1 and blinding sand. All compacted down with my Wacker on loan. Existing original slab to remain and new concrete to warp around with steels. I'm back on concrete day to shuttle it from the mix on site lorry at the front to the concrete pour at the back with my dumper. Hate using concrete in my machines But jet washer will be on standby ....

 

[Routy56]

One of my neighbours, Rob, said to me last week, "Dave can you just pop up with your digger and dumper? We need some landscaping done for flower beds and a fire pit zone"
So I rocked up yesterday with my machine to get it done. Perfect hosts supplying tea and bacon butties

They set up some impossible shapes for me to pull off the turf using the 300...

Then got to work with the grader for the larger areas....

And for you Neuson fans - I created a very nice Helipad LZ

Then dug it out for the Type 1 slinging the sails onto the adjacent flower beds

Then over to the other side for a mini helipad aka sitting zone

Very useful to have Rob about as my labourer. He took away the turfs and relaid them in low spots.
To finish up I tracked them in - another job jobbed

Nice! Your neighbours certainly keep you busy!

 

[Routy56]

Nice! Your neighbours certainly keep you busy!

Yes, we live in a lovely Hamlet of 25 homes, all with very big gardens/land. I'm supposed to be happily retired, but they all know that I still have my machines. I don't mind helping out my neighbours
Interesting commute to their places, and keeps the mileage off my Navara. '68 plate with only 42k on the clock

Hope you take it out for decent jolly every now and again for DPFs sake!

Yes, I'm aware of potential DPF issues and avoid short journeys. Had a good run into Colchester and back on Wednesday
Any idea how we see when the DPF is regenerating? I wouldn't want to stop it mid cycle.
The only way I'm aware is when the exhaust smells hot and it makes that ticking noise

I've not noticed mine doing one yet either but supposedly higher rpm when idling. You'd think they'd tell you wouldn't you when it's doing a cycle. Most car owners don't even know what a dpf is let alone making sure it completes it's cycle!

My Hilux puts a message on the dash with a counting down graph when it’s doing a Regen. Its first vehicle I’ve had that does this.
