[QUOTE="newholland, post: 578099, member: 242"] You know what I'm going to say:) Why £50k for a dairy????[/QUOTE] I know. OK....... It is £10k cost in labour, new pipe fittings, hire a tank, move existing tank, ice builder, double plate cooler, water pumps, heat recovery, hot water heaters x2, liquid mineral system, 25000 lt water tank and god knows what else. Then we need a building and insulation - its suprising how much space it all takes Then concrete floor and drains etc. Concrete foundation pads for water and milk tanks Then electrics - move distrubution board and rewire Then a wall coating Then some doors What about a few windows Then while you at it, everybody says its cheaper to do the job right, so what about a WC and a bit of a chemical store and herdsman office and a roof overhang to park the quad bike under and what about some new concrete for the tanker to park on as farm assurance keep moaning etc etc etc. Suddenly £50k has gone into thin air! Jobs like the above just evolve as they go along! ok..... to move 1 x8000lt dx tank and 1x hot water heater into a new 6m x 4m tin shed with a 3" concrete floor and the wash water running out the door will cost £7K for sure! But then you will stand and look at the tin shed in 5 years time and wish you had done the job right [/QUOTE]
