believe it or not giles the trench was 400mm below the clients side
my remit is to leave the block paving as i found it
its all very complicated and i cant talk about the ins and outs here ,but once again the old adage "pay cheap ,pay twice" comes in to play

Why is it that when you price to put something right for someone, they immediatley reckon it should be loads cheaper than they originally paid. No one seems to grasp the fact that you've usually got to rip it up and start again, I really hate the look of self pity you always get, as if your supposed to sort their problems for free or as near as. Have you ever had the one were a quote you did comes back after a few months and says the company they went with f@#*%d up and can you sort it..I love that!! :p
