funny i saw 1 sheet being trodden in but even with time lapse never saw any more?
looks a fair job from where i sit giles
your balls are on the line in big pours like that
RE dans job,we get stuff like that all the time,and the thing to remember is that without customers we have no work
so the customer gets exactly what they pay for
nice work both of you
I have been chippying this week ( a crime against humanity) but the lout goes where the $$$ is
cheers LLL

Same goes for bitmac surfacing - you only get one chance, balls on the line every time, bigstyle. Concrete and bitmac are very unforgiving!

no,i tell a lie if you look closely you can see the mesh going in,but its only a frame or so
what was the lapse on that Giles?

1 frame every 5 seconds so at 24 frames a second video rate so 2 minutes become 1 second of video, there are 6000 photos in it.
I'm pleased with it, customer is here's to many more big pours

dig dug dan wrote:well spotted giles. Highways ahve insisted some sort of barrier remain to protect the pole (£20,000 to move it!)
it is mains power or telegraph? if it is telegraph they replace them when there are rotten and have been known to move them a bit at the same time, if you enquire about moving it the bloke that comes round to have a look decides if it is rotten.
now i wouldn't possible suggest that say a monkey in the pocket guy who comes round would be a lot cheaper than £20,000, but if I wanted one moved I wouldn't be paying £20,000.

Funnily enough, the guy from bt arrived to "test" the pole (its phone not leccy)by tapping it with a hammer and poking a screwdriver in it, and he said its sound. before we arrived he could not get to it for the ivy!
The customer isn't bothered about paying to move it as he can still get two cars on his drive.
