Will a 3 ton mini digger muck out a shed? Dung has been in it years so it's not fresh matted straw and sh1t.

When I was bedding the slatted shed for sheep the only digger I could get in the 6ft high door was the microdigger, .75 ton digger, the shed was 10 bays long 24ft wide, about a foot of dung, it took me about two 6 or 7 hr days ...... 'twas better tahn using a fork anyway

I've often driven a fork to muck the place out, which is why the digger is being got for it now. Like yer man in Lethal Weapon, I'm getting too old for this sh1t.

My sister has ms. She said money raised by the society, you'd never see it. Much better to give to the local branch. That money goes back to the local area. Thry paid for counselling for my sister when she was ill. So if they have a table quiz or bag pack etc it's going back to who needs it.

Sticking with 8ft as the auld lad says tis enough for what well be at, I suppose wings can always be added on at a later date if neccessary.

Any old eegit can set up a charity, it's a cottage industry.

190k people work in charities in Ireland! It's a growth industry, time to get onboard!

Am I right in thinking that failed politicians are (getting) jobs running charities in recent years.

I was in the same boat. I bought a 9ft as the 10ft was dodgy on the road and 8ft was nearly too small for work. Worked out not much dearer to buy new as to make it myself

Surprise surprise, is there any Irish charity that isn't run by crooks who are only interested in lining their own pockets.

Definitely off-putting.

Clear herd test, thankfully. Not much grass but a lot of land, going to let cattle out in a few days- I want to disbud a few calves first.

It's made a nice day here after a cold and damp morning. I got a few cow's and calves out unexpectedly this morning after receiving an offer of grazing a neighbours meadows until the end of the month. There's a nice pick on it for 4 cow's and calves and hopefully my own ground should be well freshened up in another 3 weeks when they have to come back. It's always lifts my spirits to see them running off the trailer and down the fields at this time of year.

Quick question, have a 7 bay double slatted shed built in the 80's at home and the roof is asbestos, what's my options for replacing the roof? And what's the likely cost of getting the sheeting removed and disposed of correctly?

It’s everything. They are so contented to be out. It lifts my mother’s spirits too and the children get so excited too

Leave it alone for as long as you can. It's a ticking time bomb on a lot of farms.

I let out 4 cows at the back of the house with young calves born in the last week/ten days cause we were getting the slatted unit agitated. The cows & calves were on the wood chip/stand off pad and coming into the slats to the feed barrier but we moved them to let other cattle onto the stand off pad whilst the agitator was working. It is a great lift to the spirits to see them out and lying happy in the sun.

That’s what I thought, I presume you’re talking big money to do anything with it?

Are you sure it's asbestos?
I would have thought that by the 1980's it would have been fibre cement.

Well, unless it has cracked and is leaking, there should be another 40 years in it if the timbers are sound.
Just don't go up walking on it.
We have an old piggery with a barrel roof made from asbestos, sort of like those old Nissan huts, no timbers as it is self supporting on the two side walls.
Roof dates from the late 1930's or early 1940's.
Still sound.

True, it would cause massive heartache for both sides. Think it would be a massive leap backwards for all.

Sinn féin attending that funeral and escaping punishment for it and also the way they keep banging on about a border poll. Who knows what else, sure stormont is a joke.

Wouldn't really be on for doing anything with it unless it's causing an issue. The correct thing to do is remove it, wrap it in plastic and get it disposed off, all would have to be done by professional, qualified people, so you are looking at about €100 per meter square by the time the building is netted and all. A second option is to clad over the asbestos, that works out at about half the price.

Yeah don't touch it unless you have money to burn! Was at a job around 10 years ago n a truck collected a little pallet of it 4ft square and 2ft high. It was e600 back then to get pallet collected. Think he was saying it goes to germany to get incinerated.

Neighbour here has slatted shed. He was telling me recently that it has an asbestos roof. I reckon it was built mid 80's from memory.

Will be a grant along in the near future to deal with some off the cost of disposal I'd guess.
