    :pac: For the bales maybe! We're clearing out about .5 acre of dales/scrub altogether in a couple of places (that darned red pen on the maps) so trying to clear out any animals in it.

    Any Pine Marten in your travels?

    Nope, a hedgehog and a couple of mink so far. One got released, other are gone to the big lake in the sky.

    I c a lot of steel containers on donedeal, 40 ft for 1500ish. With the constant supply, wil they come down in price? Anyone got one?
    Hope to build and will use one as a lockup, and as a garage after for a while, 20k for a garage that complies with planning regs! Mad quote!


    If they are sound, no holes/severe rust and doors close €1500 is a bout as cheap as you will ever get a 40ft. If you want one buy it straightaway as all it takes to bump the price is a new humanitarian/military crisis and the price can jump 30% in a few days. They'll buy ones that would normally be scrapped for one last spin and they are used as accomodation be that offices/stores/dormitories etc where they land. You'll have to modify the lock to protect the actual padlock you put on the door. Leave them exposed and the best of them will succumb to a lump hammer/sledge. 6" steel pipe is what is commonly used to protect the lock.

    maybe, we had a visit from the county council 15 years ago a day after spreading slurry as it was raining then next day. Just something to keep in mind

    was looking through daughters phone yesterday , on viber one of the lads had called the teacher a cuont- instead of cnut. i said i was x's mam and that comment should be deleted within an hour of coming home from school or there will be trouble. Came in from milking whole thread deleted. No harm to let them know they are being watched

    Why is one version more acceptable than the other? It's a big no no for many people, term of endearment for others depends how it's said.

    she got a phone for her 10th birthday after years of looking for one. She is alway losing it and could go weeks without being on it atall. It is handy if she is at a friends house or for her to text me in the middle of the night to say there are robbers downstairs
