Yea they repaired both the day they were broke (cough both on the same day cough cough)dig dug dan wrote:dan, lovely work there. Love that kubota. I bet that was a joy to use!
have you had the gas repaired? what did it cost. how quick did they come out?
they have to go in the house to "flush" it through don't they??
on that driveway, where you went up the side up against the concrete posts, did you have to chip away at the concrete much?
I never fill my post holes to top. makes it easier later on in life!
The big one - as for reasons known only to the muppet that decided upon it, was inside the foundation of a drystone wall, so when i pushed it over with machine...it broke, the guy that came out said hell just put it down to a leaking coupling - so got that free. It also helped that i knew his boss!
The small one even though it was too shallow, should of been free also, im putting a fair bit of pressure on them, so im hoping they will fold. They want £700.00 for the small pipe.
Ye we chipped away a as much as we dared, tbh i could of pushed them posts over before we started they were knackered at the bottom, the kerb edge was put there to hide the join of concrete panels and next doors naff driveway which was higher.
The gas lads were out within 20 minutes

No mate, we never finished the job, the client was a pain, i was doin the job through another groundworks firm because his men werent good enough, for a PITA architect, the job went pear shaped he found it funny to threaten non payment, and i walked the same day i took that pic
TBH whoever finished it made a bodge, the bit that is excavated was all filled in with setts, id got set up to lay them with a camber before i left, some one made a right balls of it and didnt give it any fall in its length and it now holds around 3" of water either side lol

LOL i know LLL!...was waiting for you to mention them it took him weeks to decide, and he decided on them bloody things, he had couriers bringing samples from all over the place - the mind boggles! They ranged from around 2.5 inches to 7 inches!
He wanted the two courses stepped, and when i complained about the quality of the material he had supplied he told me to mix the varying sizes up? Probably why i struggled.
the whole job turned out a shambles in the end, im glad i was only there for a few days!
