I use the PCC gulley surrounds a lot, save so much time - but your cuts are lovely to see.

So Cookie repeats all Hags huge photies to say "see you friday", (nice work Hag - we need photo taken much further back to realise what the whole thing looks like )
Ambient gets angry with the reinforcing, then realises, it's actually the cable tv and power lead to the greenhouse.
Stuarty is now a model for the latest in hi viz tech-ware,
Dave has smashed out all the cones on the A41, with a boat.
Apart from that, we finally see LLL's kitchen .....
Just a normal week with you lot .. :laugh:

why save a few quid on tar when the blocks would have looked the biz? anyway nice lines and compaction agree with LLL on the front corners tho second look the job is like half and half mad really to look at!

i only mentioned it because of the split on the left side but none on the right
also after seeing the intricate cutting on the previous one
it would seem that cutting is your forte
but in the spirit of fairness this is what happens to me,if i go to pick up some gear and leave the 2 lads (40 and 41) alone for an hour
they look at you like you are an alien when you spot it

excuse the digger drivers question: middle left where the charcoal kerbs stop and the border kicks to the left, could you have put the kerbs against the gravel boards to keep a straight line or would that be overkill just for aesthetics? nice job on the bitmac, take it they dont drive into the garage with the step on the side door?

never thought of mitreing corners customer wanted tar on drive tried to talk her round but tar or block works work still make good money on tar,giles it still wouldnt be a straight line and the fencing and path goes right to back of house so would be kerbing overkill and they wouldnt pay any extra she wanted a step at back door more than access to garage only use garage for big harley d
