    Domestic RHI and Income tax

    I’ve been a bit shocked to be told by accountant that the RHI payments are declared as an income on a self assessment although we only have a domestic RHI scheme. I’m only unfortunate enough to have to do a self assessment due to having a rental property as I work on a PAYE salary based job and...

    Something different......

    Have not seen this on here anywhere... Who fancies buying a farm with some penguins? Apparently climate is very much like West Wales!! Wet and windy!! Comes with a flock of sheep and herd of cattle, not quite just around the corner though. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-46540282

    Need to fit logburner into a smallish inglenook that’s been squared off with bricks/blocks. Unfortunately the brickies did the job when it was raining rather than work outside when I was not around. Plan was just to fit a new concrete lintel to support existing cracked one but they squared...

    Ford 655 Backhoe hydra lock.

    Hi. Anyone come across a backhoe with seized lock clamps on the backhoe? Top clamps release ok, one bottom one moves a fraction but other one will not budge. I find it hard to believe that the cylinder can seize so solid that it won't move at all but again I can't see the pivot pin being so...
