How wet is too wet? - Bloody rain!

[mcelec]

hi everyone, ive had 20 tonne of limestone mot1 delivered today however due to a couple of light showers the last two days the sub grade is wet and muddy to walk on, you dont sink in it but if i dug my heel in i could probably push it in at least 20mm or so, is this too wet to start laying the mot 1? should i wait a couple of days for it to dry out?

if you dont sink in it it should be ok but you be better not wacking it till its stopped raining for a day

I'd whack 100mm or so in to start with, give it a dry day or so, whack it and see how you go. If time is against you give it a whack right away as ambient says, you might be OK.

Chances are you'll be fine

do it in 3 layers, walk on each layer when done- if your foot 'squishes' then leave it to dry, never lay untill completely solid! we work almost everyday of the year so no need to stop because of rain, just be cautious.
