whats that screed rail sitting on? it looks a bit heavy to use on your own!

[rimexboy]

Looks nice pictures of the turntable please:D

[GB_Groundworks]

h20 rebar dowls, all i had in the yard, yeah got labourer with me, was going to use a timber but that seemed a better option less warp and bend in it

[lutonlagerlout]

looking sweet giles
looks like you are getting the hang of block paving too
I used some epoxy mortar on a dip like that in a factory and AFAIK it has held up

so busy working all weekend and monday trying to get ahead

snagging out on the big house job but getting there, turn table setts done, car port steel and roof on

porch done, artifical grass going down











clad the man hole and the retaining wall behind the hedge





left the labourer finishing the block paving,



prestbury newbuild pushing on, had a result and found a fill job 3 miles away for the 300 tons of muck will save alot on the muck away

[GB_Groundworks]

back at ferodo, scraping old paint stuff off the floor boy was it tough stuff




started the next phase of footings for the machines and robots, pilers in on tuesday to pile









a few changes of mind and slight movements



dust supression



clicked over 2000 hours but still looking good gave her a quick wash and a grease after getting a bit mucky in the factory



drawing shows 500mm deep concrete slab on piles, but at 650mm theres an old 150mm concrete slab. so going have to knock some holes in it for the pilers to pile through



in tomorrow clearing the res tof the pads out, monday shifting muck

£250? for two bags? thats expensive, but i guess there is no other option ???

C40 covered with steel plate?

Saw cutting a nice rectangle would save the point breaking on that triangle.

[GB_Groundworks]

couldnt cut it out and break it out due to induction loop for the automatic door thats triggered when a forklift runs over it

thats a cheaper repair than messign around braking out and filling it and covering with a plate which then induces another bump for the forklifts to loose more brake pads on as they go over
