One I prepared earlier!
Good job it wasn’t a new conservatory. I could have gone through :;):
I had this little accident a number of years ago whilst working for another company. The customer took it prity well, infact Im seeing her soon to complete the rest of the garden.

Clive's crash course....
Clive writes,
"I would like to point out that this is the only time I've rolled a 360, something I try not to make a habit of and no-one was injured. The dumper in the back ground was used to wedge under the canopy, to stop it settling down on its hydraulics, whilst we figured out how to get it back on its feet.
Incidentally the reason this came about was the Garden Designer we were working for on this job insisted I included a drainage detail under the 4x2m pond that I'd just dug, even though I pointed out to her that the drain was neither necessary nor would even work due to the fact that she had the out low higher than the drain itself. A sort of rising main without the pump. The compromise was to put in a length of perforated drain under the pond to give the option of hooking up to it a later date if needed.
So you see I was probably still chuntering away to myself when backing out of the pond!!! The guy I worked for at the time had bought him self a Scenic Blue franchise so he new a lot less than bugger all!
Thanks again

I am starting to build my own house and I am considering whether to buy or hire a digger. I have had quotes to hire a 1.5T digger at £400 per 5 day week - self drive. This is expensive, so I am now seriously considering buying one and selling it when finished. I would need it for general ground work (not the heavy stuff - I am paying for this) and trenches...etc.
What machine would anybody recommend - There are so Many!! I have looked at ebay......but i am not sure.......any comments very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Im also after a mini digger of some sort to help with larger landscape projects i am eventually beggining to pick up nowadays. However I am a complete novice when it comes to using one and have never used one ever before. The cheapest quote i have had to hire one at the moment is £110 + vat per day plus £20 delivery and to take away afterwards.
Ive only got one job on now which requires this kind of machine, ('the waterfall feature' i mentioned in another topic), but am sure ill eventually pick up many more projects where this machine will come in handy!
Anyone one any ideas on which model i should go for with a really low budget at the moment?
thanks
