outbuildings down and footing marked out


brick hardcore waiting for messr DDD's crusher


hand dug a fair bit today


the water board who the client paid £350 for a build over agreement has just informed us they want the drains moved outside the footprint

Holy crap you and hand dig Tone! Diggers can be replaced when worn out, you can't!

[lutonlagerlout]

all dug out and passed today dave :;):
TBH i dont mind hand digging at all ,been at it for 25 years
we couldnt have used a digger as the neighbour needs24/7 access
but its done
sometimes you just have to suck it up and crack on

[DNgroundworks]

Don't let anyone in Leigh hear you saying it's anywhere near Wiggin! No more certain way to get a bowl of lobby smashed in your face than to mention the proximity of the Pie Eyters.

Leigh Infirmary - I spend almost as much time there as I did in school between the ages of 11 and 15. If there had been such a thing as loyalty cards in the 70s, they would probably have given me one. Bikes and teenage boys - not the safest of combinations!

nice work there Giles,I dont know how you can keep so many customers happy at once
it must be a juggling act, I struggle with 2 at a time
cheers LLL
