It's a self built house hexagon shaped one floor out of wood mate used to have solar panels and battery store. The battery house burnt down so on the mains now. the solar things on the right are glass tubes that the water runs through heating it with the help of an Aga. Real nice people into farm husbandry old skills organic gardening and farming. Also have problem kids that are on a one on one and they are really good with them.

I know it will vary but just bein nosey Not really sure mate. Suppose it depends on the size of hedge etc. think people normally charge per meter so depends how many meters you can do a day to make you wage Lads I know who do fencing are flat out with grant work plenty of work out there for it. Suppose to be going on helping a chap in winter now the dairy cows have gone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
