[DNgroundworks]

Tony is just our of shot frantically trying to keep up with the 5 tonner with his spade and fork......

[lutonlagerlout]

that certainly is a tilt hitch
no hand dig on that job, well only to expose gas and electric
the 3 tonner takeuchi is a brand spanker only 8 hrs on it this AM
I know you lads like a bit of plant porn
hehe

[DNgroundworks]

My mistake maybe it looks a bit bigger than a 3 tonner due to it being in a small space, how much are you payinf for 8 wheel grabs Tony?

[lutonlagerlout]

£220 + VAT
which is cheap compared to 6 yd skips at £150 +VAT a pop

we stripped 225mm off 75m2 and have maybe .2 of a m3 to get rid of,so he got plenty on

.2 of a m3 I would have got that on him.... Your slipping LLL .
Imaculate brick work as usual LLL, what paving are they having anything juicey

Nearly finnished now the boys done me proud today on the cuts!
I popped in dinner time to screed off and came back at 5:30,slammed in to it until 8:30 im a slave to the clays.... 750m2 last few weeks oooffff! "missing the cobbles now!"

[lutonlagerlout]

are they those blockley ones haggis?
why they make them that funny size is beyond me?
tell your lads the whole point of inboard cutting is that no cut should be less than a 1/3 of a block, neat cutting but need a few halfs in here and there
cheers LLL

Nearly there got it all cleaned and planted and snagged last couple of days all thats left is the lawn once it dries up. Finally convinced a local landscape supplier to stock composted bark after bedgering him for years he gave me a good discount for it because he's shifted 2 artics of it in the last month so it's become a best seller already.






The artificial turf surprised me with it realistic looks

LLL

[local patios and driveway]

Got to agree about trampolines, i have a friend who cant walk, work or wipe his own arse because on landing on his head.

Not liking the fake turf but the client gets what client wants. Hagg its laid like block paving, subbase then sharp sand. Needs a timber edgeing to fix to.

Should be safe as long as you don't do this:


I think they should be encouraged: (SFW if your boss doesn't mind you looking at bouncing breasts with the nipples covered)

very nice work pablo looking great, .... please remove that trampoline video as i feel sick seeing it..........

[Pablo]

Trampolines are like guns they're not dangerous until an idiot gets hold of one. I think they're great play equipment for kids but they should always be enclosed and kept in good nick one of the biggest causes of attendance at A&E from household accidents is drunken adults injuring small kids on them.
I'm being converted to artificial turf in certain situations and play areas is certainly one of them it looks better than rubber matting or cold pour isn't as dirty as bark or rubber chip and can be played on in most weathers unlike grass which gets ruined and is out of bounds in the wet. All that adds up to getting the kids out of the house more since we've put the paving and play area in the kids are only in the house to eat and sleep according to the client so that's got to be money well spent. The other place the Turf works for me is small shaded gardens where grass doesn't grow well and the client has small kids or dogs that needs outdoor space without the mud. Paving it wouldn't be an option cost wise and it can when done right look close enough to a very well maintained lawn.
It's not neccesary to use a sub base unless it's getting play equipment etc on it if it was just to use like a normal lawn then the manufacturer states that it only needs the turf stripped and levelled then make up with compacted course sand and lay like a carpet ontop. All free edges need tacked if you can't tuck them under something.
