pits filled with 100 tons of granular material, 40 tons mot ontop of some crushed concrete that was available on site. ontop of the consolidate fill that was in the pit. all we took away was the top 200mm concrete and then consolidated what was there before. so we compressed it by over a metre with the rammax roller! the old bit had just been mass filled and not consolidated.

i bought a cheaper version of the go pro for making work videos going to make more videos for advertising.

made this in a rush last night, just reviewed it and there is a spelling mistake ill sort it reupload it

friday last week. Stumps discovered (which customer did not tell me about), so mate came in and ground them. Would normally dig them out, but too close to the wall. He had to do it off ramps !

Monday morning: wall going up:

wall finished. 3pm

crushed to final levels

fencing tomorrow.

nice brickwork there dan

giles I had the pleasure of doing a quarter mile of that 300mm deep drilling malarkey in the early 90's
for big jerry
we soon hit on the cunning plan of cutting 150mm off each dowel

needless to say the clerk of the works soon busted us

It comes with a waterproof case, it's mounted on a steel on the side of the factory I used step ladders, no you have to plug it in to make the timelapse movie

There are some apps for iPhone that do it and but no good for this

Look on eBay there are some special timelapse cameras that last longer than this and are waterproof etc

Pm me or give us a bell if you want know more

Next time your local ill come do some proper photos for you,
