Tidy job Darren. I was thinking about doing a feature wall with it in my house.
Simon, its been around for a couple of years. At £43 per m2 its great value for money. Most people use it as Luton says, which is for a feature wall or a water feature. This mean that they are only using 2 or 3m2, so not that expensive in the big scheme of things.
Thanks to Tony for posting all the good piccies and giving some good feedback. Wanted to also add that we delivered an addtional 10m2 of the cladding to Tony on Monday morning and it was a total cock up to be honest. This is a picture of the crate we delivered to Tony on Monday
Dont know what the boys in the yard were thinking about sending out the pallet like that. It looks like a crate of rubbish
The problem has come about because the cladding is packed within the crate, in small cardboard boxes. The boxes then get wet and disintergrate inside the crate. It doesnt excuse the fact that the boys sent it out like that. Have instructed the guys in the yard to unpack all the cladding and put it onto crates. Going forwrad it will need to be stored inside to avoid this happening again
It looks like the packers have another job to do now repacking it all, may be just try covering it with heated shrink wrap that will keep it dry at base and on site as well Steve
i wouldn't have posted that steve
but fair play within 2 hours the lot had been replaced
you cant ask for more than that
I think the measure of any person or company is not how they work when things are going well, its how they put a balls up right
we have all done it at one time or another and it pains me to listen to people when they try and squirm out of things
on another issue we have gone for easipoint, contacted all the resin 1 and 2 part manufacturer's and not one could give the 10 year guarantee that the client quite rightly wants
would have used the larsen but i feel their buff has too much grey in it
so easipoint sand stone it is
60 more flags to lay then on with the squirting
LLL
so the crazyness continues, we are flat out every machine we have is out on jobs, thats 2 x js130s, a 8 ton, a 3 ton 2x 1.5 tons, a 3cx, 4 dumpers, tractor and tele handler and 3 guys doing their best to keep all the jobs ticking over.
so knock through at the factory, cheated and brought in 1.5 ton with pecker speeded things up, its all the finishing off that takes time though

nice work giles
wouldn't you be letting your lad down if that pump blocked and threw you off the wall?
you are not letting anyone down by refusing to risk your life
concrete can get poured any day
we all are under pressures at work ,but nothing is worth getting crippled for
nice work on the steels ,bet it was tight getting them in around the scaffold

I know you wouldnt Tony but it didnt feel right that you were telling everyone how good we were and then we went and did that. All sorted now and hopefully wont happen again
I assumed it was to make it easier to clean, maybe he was thinking we'd be correctly inserting into the bottom of the form them pumping it up but with the steplock block had to fill them from the top, and no poker allowed Less than satisfactory if you ask me
