Oh the joys of a third day on the 1.5 robber in direct sun running full whack with the breaker on ripping out reinforced concrete, why didn't I bring the 3cx not only much more powerful but air conditioning sweat in the eyes time.
Bent the bucket ram yesterday, kinda straighten it with wrecking bar but have to go engineers when I'm done oops

that doesn't sound like the hag we know and who's work we respect. You should always take a step back now and then. Remember you can't hurry perfection and quality :;):

Tell the boss sean, I did return to a job today and cleaned the aco's out changed the chipped blocks and topped up with sand so the standards haven't dropped just the finesse is on the shelf.
Finished this one yesterday 89m2 of sandstone and some tree pruning the existing levels were crap so had to build up in most places to get a decent fall. Took just under 7 days had budgeted for 8 so happy days.
I'd be interested in whether you think I should've finished the outer edge with a curve and continued the pattern rather than the angles in hindsight I think it would've looked better but would like your views.
Got 2 lawns ready for turfing today with 2 tomorrow and 2 on monday ready for the turf on tuesday so that'll be a long day.
Some steps seating and patio fro the same job I'll get some better shots once it's turfed.
Done lots of other bits and bobs recently but to lazy to photograph it.
Looking good as always Pablo, i'm not too sure about the angles as you say, the fact that it comes back round to parallel i probably would have continued the pattern. But the large 600x900 cut with angles looks ok its just the smaller cuts on round that look funny.
That soil pipe in photo one is a dogs dinner on steroids.
I think i'll post up my last couple of jobs so it'll be my first in this thread. Let the flaming begin....
