looks pretty much like our sites :)
only other thing is i like the blocks stacked in 4's rather than 2's
they are ok stacked like that but if you cut one you can get cracked ones below
nice work dan
LLL :)
Sorry tony having a blonde moment there that is a water pipe for a outdoor tap with regards to the block stacking could you see how tight it was down there ! Oh the joys

On jobs that size and quantity I'd say they pay dividends.

Never used a silo before. What size area do you need to site one and what would be the minimum area being paved where it is worth getting in a silo?

3mx3m for big silo hard standing min normal 50 ton which would lay 250m2 plus
Ps they do have 8 ton silo you could place in your yard and use as you need

who has the 8 tonne ones cookie?
we were looking at 20 tonne of red mortar mix which would lay 18000 bricks plus all the block and roofwork
but they couldnt get the swing to offload it
8 tonne would be ample for most small extensions, thing is you have to site it

I was scrolling down the photos thinking that looks really nice, then I saw the tarmac and it ruined it for me :(

Did a nice job of the Tarmac, do you get people in or do you do it yourself?
