Double bagged, they set the weight alarm off on the telehandler at full extension so well over a ton, but they are big units not like the 100x100.

I know its in a lovely area and a beaut of a house but if i spent all that wedge on a house i would want a view
i really like the old regency style houses
you know the ones with 15 ft ceilings downstairs,then 12 ft on the first floor,then 10 ft on the second floor and 8 ft in the attic
i know land was cheaper but houses were to designed to be lived in then
know invariably ,its what can we max out on this plot??

We are knocking down the family farm and rebuilding in coursed stone in gentlemens residence style, as in door in middle then symmetrical large windows either side. Back of the house is south facing 300 metres up on a hillside in the peak district. Great views and should be an interesting project. Basements etc all traditional styled like you said, but let battle begin with planners we are in green belt and conservation zone, mix of peddle dashed farms, accrington brick mill owners manner, stone barns and stone hall. Not that confident they will approve,

Build about 900k then finishes could add another 200k depending on to what standard it was finished.

Based on basements, brick work and block build, solid wood windows, wood floors etc.

went to buy one in coventry but blade was 12' 6" wide, £700 a move on wide load trailer and escort vehicle so just been doing it with the diggers and trailer, still might get a smaller one in for spreading the top soil although we are thinking of using a big near discharge muck spreader to put 300mm soil on top of the clay,

got 500 metres of land drain to put in before the soil goes back.

henpecked both new, but the dump trailer has shifted so many loads all the paint has gone from inside and snooth as baby's bum, dump trailer and tractor were both bellied out on friday had to dig it out.
