And it helps if your edges are square jeessuuss! Give me strenth!
Should have two drives side by side done by Wednesday with diamond patterns for both...!
Every drive in the same street has tram lines in them but the work still keeps coming thank fcuk no one looks at this site!
No wonder I couldn't compete ..

Haggi the pattern looks out but isn't it's the garden walls that are kicking it all off they've been put in by eye and aren't square with anything else. The pin kerb is the same distance at both ends and they've pulled a line through on that assuming that the walls were the same distance in the middle but they're not. You'll not get that any better it's just the way it is and it's not a workmanship issue on your part. If you want it looking better at all then you could finish the paving short so it's all square and not following the wall then fill the gap with gravel or concrete or more of the black trim.

The walls and edges in this bay are bang on, it was the first thing i checked after the agent phoned me.The boys just runout and didn't keep the half blocks against the soldier course,it's right now but they have had the dreaded cement fillets around the incorrect manhole covers.Pablo wrote:Haggi the pattern looks out but isn't it's the garden walls that are kicking it all off they've been put in by eye and aren't square with anything else.

h&s on site are happy with the set up. the ply is to eliminate any snagging in belt and the boys have added a few boards to scoop up the poop.. No digger because of fumes and only access is down the stairs don't worry we have asked and asked and looked in to electric ones.!lutonlagerlout wrote:i am no HSE specialist haggis but that job doesnt look very well lit or tidy

9 blokes = 28T to dig out each, surely should be able to dig out more than that in 3 weeks? If I knock my pan in I can dig 28T in 2 days.lutonlagerlout wrote:i am no HSE specialist haggis but that job doesnt look very well lit or tidy
