nice to see the stud work horizontal joints are dog legged to one another. The number of times i see people hammering nails in at silly angles just to get them in a line, when offsetting makes it so much better!

That M3 would make a cracking skip with a chute off the scaffold you'd be doing the world a favour burying the driver in it too. I've yet to meet a 3 series driver who isn't a bit of a tw#t anyway. :laugh:

I've hired one of them a few times I hate the rops being at the front and the tracks are much longer than the smaller one so tight corners are a bit tricky too but overall a very good machine although it's misses a fast track like the Takeuchi.
Can't see it from my house

@pablo
the noddys hanging around that barber shop made me laugh
all trying oh so hard to be gangstas
pimples and pink skin just dont really cuit it
@mick
you are right of course but as this is 1 of lutons main roads they specifically asked for it to be done on the weekend
I am the mere labourer on the roof,
what shocked me was the skip ,scaffold and building notice to do it
£50 for the skip permit
£170 for the scaffold + £420 deposit for the pavement
and £300 to change the roof from slate to tiles

where do you manage to park on a job like that?
And what stops people filling your skip up?
