I really like simple ranch and picket fencing jobs a good un Dan. That's enough blowing smoke up your arse now so lets talk about the Kubota that's a great looking bit of kit I'm super jealous what other toys do you have for it.

what is that attachment on the kubota?
I spoke to dan on the phone earlier and i used to drive past that vineyard every day for 18 months,its on the outskirts of ashridge forest and easily one of the most picturesque areas around these parts
anyway back on to recent stuff
roof tiled and lead installed
the tin slate around that vent pipe was a bugger and a half to fit and get to lay flat
every sodding tile was clipped
poly sulphide mastic
scaffold down
deep flow gutter and weepholes
on to the ramps now while the plumbers and sparks do their thing

what is that attachment on the kubota
its a post driver. I had a job dividing a field off into paddocks, and had to bang in a mile worth of fencing. I was gogin to pay someone to do it, but decided to buy my own machine.
Bit of a bargain. ex show machine, all hydraulic, mast tilt forwards and back, and its telescopic so you can bang in 13' posts! i paid 2 grand for it.
what other gadgets? 5ft mower, log splitter, saw bench,grader, soil screener, flail mower , tipping trailer and post hole borer for the kubota.
kubota is 32hp and has 25mph top road speed. not bad for a compact tractor!

That a euphenism? :laugh:
Nice work there LLL & Dan.
LLL: If that's your 19kg from Flogas you can probably get a better deal just now, with it being a mild winter sales are down so all the dealers are running about offering stupid prices trying to drum up business.
Do you fit the windows yourself too? If you do I will probably be asking you some questions about it this summer, My flat has no double glazing so going to try and fit new windows this summer.

Been a busy fortnight but made great progress and the weather has generally been kind.
Started this one properly after doing the clearance before christmas it's a full back garden with 90m of sandstone with silver and black granite trim and silver kerbs and steps. Sett path with exposed aggregate car washing bay. Moved a lean to and all the soil and storm pipes needed re doing along with resiting the oil tank and water taps. Levelled the lawn and the upper tier and removed 8 ro-ro skips (approx 20 ton each) through that small archway which is why the cabs off the digger. Retaining the soil and beds with either sleepers or anchor walling which will be decided once client sees the finished paving also got some planters to be done in the same and a bit of fencing. The upper tier is a play area surfaced with play grade synthetic turf. Once completed it's being panted in a less council roundabout manner with child freindly low maintenance plants. Coming along nicely but the pressure is on because I've 2 jobs on the go just now and I'm spread thin.
Topsoil redressed approx 250mm deep wasn't expecting to be able to do this but it was dry and friable so took the chance and got away with it and kept it's structure intact.
The circle is getting a 3 row sett trim which along with the beds will be cut in situ once the paving is in. Before anyone chews my ar#e the flags thats are stacked upright are rejects and were in the process of being rifted.
I promise to get a decent camera soon.

Just finished a site enabling job - put the access road and services in from the road edge up to the end of the access road and built the walls excl. the central pier,as it will only get damaged during future construction work.
Roadway finished to basecourse level, final surface course to go on when all construction work is complete.

Tidy Dave I bet someone still manages to tw#t that wall but good thinking leaving it short.
I helped my plasterer get the finish coat on some walls today he's the fastest man in the west and very neat too this only took 4 hrs. Gonna leave it a week to harden then will fit the paving and plant it up the lawn will have to wait.
And the good news is that I've now bought a decent camera and once I've found a 12 year who can show me how to use it I'll start kicking Giles's ar#e with my photographic brilliance.:laugh:

Very nice pablo, was this designed by you? I think that render done well and painted the right colour looks modern and clean, seems a popular finish on bespoke landscape works at the moment
