CPI mortar mix go on there web site they have them on there cheers cookielutonlagerlout wrote: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 like that block/tar mix, not too much of one or the other. That would have taken some laying and tidying up around the edges. You'd have needed some good rake hands there. Nice job.

A quick photo of the job we are on at the minute....we have been here years lol, all the road has gone in since i last posted pictures, the tarmac gang finished today, took them two days and 250t of tarmac. The job has taken 3000 tonnes of aggregate so far in MOT, crush, drainage stone etc
All services in, bt, electric, 3 phase, ground source heat, fibre optics, electro magnetic loop for the gates, 3 lots of water gas, plus 3000m of land drainage.
Lake, gabions and pier done, cut and fill nearly done.
ill get pics of the 50k gateway tommorow
Just on next doors at the min which is a big barn that another building outfit has done, we have got the muck shifting work at the mo, and im doing the landscaping, lots of upright oak sleepers etc.
The big house you see caught fire last year so it has been de-listed and will be demolished and moved along with the little cottage, the pics of the lake i posted are at the other side of the house, the barn that has been refurbed is just out of shot.
Next up is a 1000m square steel frame workshop.
I must admit i do enjoy this sort of work much more than laying driveways etc.

As it happens Cookie i spent an afternoon with the customer on the laptop showing him your site, it all sounded as if he was going to ring you, the tar from the road is a dead staright drive 300mtrs long x 3 mtrs then the same again in a horse shoe shape down the bottom. But i think after buying up all the land surrounding the property and spending nigh on a mil and he hasnt started the house/cottage or workshop yet i dont think the budget would stretch!

What size tracked dumper is that looks like a 10-12 tonner, I love our 5 ton one goes anywhere and less damage than your boots make.

12 tonne giles, it has a steering wheel, never seen one like this before, we did have an 8t swivel tip takeuchi tracked dumper before christmas, that was cool, you steered it with the left hand lever and operated the skip with your right.

screed lean mix as you would for paving, spread a layer of say 14mm gravel over area then run plate over it,very similar idea to tar and chip but far better job, MSHDNgroundworks wrote:Gravel whacked into leanmix, how dya mean Cookie? Or i have i missed a joke lol
