nice bricks dan !!
i wonder where they came from
you did very well in 3 days
we had to cover brickwork 7 times yesterday due to sudden showers
PITA
today was a nice day,got scaffold high but no pics as banging the bricks down
i would have thought more like a week for that job if pricing,but looks like the slabs etc came up easy :)
happy days

Post: # 80648Post London Stone Paving

We've gone risk assesment crazy down at London Stone. Since moving to our new HQ I have had to carry out approx 30 risk assesemnt's, most of the stuff is common sense but it has definately raised the standards of H&S at our place.

Nice work there Dan. Its really good to see stuff being reused on site. Our crusher was going great guns until the last couple of weeks. The belt has started to slip to the right before eventually jamming. We've done a bit of welding on it today, so hopefully it should be sorted. Great machine though. We' started shifting the stuff at £5 per ton to get it moving. Then it all moved very quickly, so gonna put it up to £10 per ton and see how it goes. The local pikies are going crazy for it :D
