Well done giles, bonus points if you can name the boat on the left of pic 4 and the 2 black things in the same photo lol. All that razor wire and temporary fencing which is fixed into the concrete with thunder bolts just to keep 40 chinese crane builders out of 2 dry docks. Then for it all to be removed once they leave :0. Crazy! Working there fascinates me, but the beurocracy and H&S extremes are verging on silly. Done alot of work in rd57, aka "that great big fecking hole"

Quality work hag'. Just a couple of questions ( not knocking, just curious ). By the white post on the left..... is that two separate properties and did you agree on your blocks 'encroaching', if indeed they are encroaching. Also why no threshold drainage? Once again, i'm not knocking your work, just interested.

Very tidy hagg
Well we managed to get all that razor wire done just in time for the boat arriving with the goliath crane on it, its huge!
And I managed to get right upclose to the crane i posted pics of before, and no im not really really short, the tracks are really really big. 300tons of counterweights on the back of it, and those were only the ones i could see

You'd be suprised at the number of customers who just say "Get on and pave/surface my driveway, to hell with the drainage"

No sweat cookie.
See what you mean LLL may go down that route in the future.
the 'encroaching' blocks was the shape of the previous drive which the customer didn’t really like that’s why i made a better looking threshold as for the drainage the drive is falling back to the property and channelled to a suds. I would have liked to have changed that flipping broken edging but i was a shared access and not much love between the neighbours.
