If the client doesn't like the brick that's matched to the house and was quoted for then surely they pay for any costs that arise from getting one they do like.
Can't see it from my house

Ahhh it'll be fine, nice long straight footings, first load at midday so I hope to be home by 4.30pm.

Although this wasn't really what we wanted to happen!!

Digging in basement today to find existing drainage in the old town hall. it's very dark, damp, full of dust from ongoing demolition above (lath & plaster) and no air circulation!
we have to lift and relay 500M2 of pennant sandstone
hand dig and remove 600t spoil ( conveyor through window)
Tank basement With Newton system
40mm insulation boards above sub-base
Drainage
Install Lift pits
Lots of concrete bases for plant room
disabled acsess ramps out of Forrest pennant sawn slabs/wall cladding
Q.1 can we combine storm and foul 150mm each to 225mm manhole exit? As this happens 400mm outside building? If not we will have to under pin the main foundation and break in to existing manhole...nightmare!
Q.2 anyone used an electric micro digger before?

Grano type screed needs cleaning off 100m2+ breaks off like chocolate

Conveyer exit at ground level ..One 3m and one 4.5m 110v should get it out!!

One of the lads on site had a bit of bother with the khazi, I think he has a 6" asshole but the toilet is plumbed into 4" pipework. Make of that what you will!

At least he owned up to it and sorted it himself. Mind you there are more skidmarks in the pan than on a Formula 1 starting grid.

Indeed, but it wasn't unexpected but we did have a new Fendt tractor very near to it 10 mins before it came down (in a controlled manner, of course)

That could have been a right bloody mess.

Hagg, make certain conveyor is 600mm wide, 300wide is aggro. Not used electric diggers but on the market currently are kubotas set up for mining, electric, running to an in built conveyor, may be ideal for you, youtube videos exist

Haggi, in case no one has already asked,why is a man as talented as you,scratching about in the mud for someone else?

Every monoblocker/garden make-over dude i speak to is booked out till late September.

You could/should put 20k in your back pocket over the next few months,then spend the winter chasing pussy around Europe.

Does that make sense?
