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

i think also the safety inlet gate was removed too!

1pm concrete pour booked today, turned up at 4.40! left the site at 6.30, but luckily dumper soon made short work of bringing the concrete round.
back mid august for slabs.

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

i love them sort of jobs haggis :)
we did similar on the french embassy in kensington palace gardens 20 years ago,lads with diamond chainsaws were cutting in damp course 450mm into existing walls ,never seen anything like it before or after
back to reality
earlier in the week
do you reckon my mate has the monday blues? :;):
Image

had to make a connection 1200 down an existing drain,what a ballbreaker hanging down the IC to point
Image

the scene this afternoon at 3.45
Image

went past the ramp we did before xmas
the lady died the day after it was completed RIP and it looks like the pikeys have nicked the handrail :angry:

and lastly followed this noddy out of a builders yard in luton
look carefully and you can see a pack of roofing batten sticking out of his passenger window at least 1200
it would be funny if it wasnt so sad
he nearly decapitated a group of schoolchildren when he swerved to avoid a bus
