demo lads are still here on the other bit of the site with their big toys, crate of beer i got 25 tons of 6f2 back

35 ton komatsu loading trailer which is 2.45m wide! 6 ton in each bucket full!

25 ton in under 10 mins

water in the excavation has to be stored then tested before disposal

That's our 3 ton kubota but when your pits 3.7m long it's not as easy as that, I dug one same as this last time with 3 ton it's was a pain. Got the machine may as well use it

lot easier with 8 ton

Not asbestos it's the nastier chemicals like phynol acetate fermaldehyde etc asbestos is fairly inert when wet or buried. It's only when dry and it atomises that it's deadly

I bought 40 x 3m 3mm trench sheets for Â£600

Built these today. Getting quite into building gates. I think eventually I can do 1 in an hour ish if I was totally geared to it which is roughly Â£50 for an hours work so I'm gonna keep building them myself instead of paying someone else. Not quite that profit selling them on ebay but no harm in whacking an ad on each time I have to build one for a customer. Figure if I get 10-20 adds running for various gates and sizes I'll eventually start taking orders.

Nice one Giles. Looks like your busy. Are you just 100% commercial work now? Looks like all the kit is coming in handy

Finished a small garden project today.
Loved this job, everything just seemed to go right and went down very quickly even though it was a hand dig.
5 days start to finish

Cheers Tony.
50 of those would see me right.
I think the reason the last couple of jobs have gone so well is because my lads seem to be clicking very well all of a sudden.
We've even had time this week to sort the yard out. Gave them the day off today with pay for working hard while I'm out putting quotes in and cleaning the van up

This made a nice change, a Limestone patio that only needed cleaning & re-sealing, no damage what so ever.
Black Limestone & Indian Sandstone paving with slate chips as an in-lay, fiddly to clean but worth it.

made a heck of a difference roger
and as you say very well laid and a nice design

Fantastic as always Rodge. It wouldn't be over the top to say that you have given the customer a new garden

Posted: **Thu Aug 06, 2015 8:04 pm**

Fantastic job Roger. How long doesn't it take for black limestone to go grey like that?
