LLL that is some top notch building work going on there

It only takes a second to spot a bad job, but I feel the same applies to a perfect job you just know instantly.

First tried 2 pit sand 1 sharp and 1 cement didn't work clogged
Then tried 3 pit sand 1 cement work fine but colour was awful
Now use 3 plastering/rendering sand all in buckets and about 3 caps of febmix only problem on some patios can dry quite Whiteish.

The sheets were driven in the ground 18" by digger before I got down someone had to measure for struts.

All jokes aside I know it's dangerous but I can't send me dad down there and the labourers we have wouldn't have a clue

That's why we love groundwork!!!!

18" is not a lot, but i guess its only small pit last time we dug out 3m we drove 7metre 10mm piles in all the way but that was large excavatation

i do love groundwork though hehe

Seriously though what was the hole for.

took a couple more today
repaired next doors drive way after 11 weeks of scaffolding and temporary fencing

as the extension is 225mm in from the old boundary wall we had to use the old blocks at the front and get some new ones for further down the path
I hate leaving neighbours peed off after building work so try and reinstate their side to a good standard
move their gate and rebuild the wall tomorrow

roof opened up and second dormer constructed as well today
BTW the plastic cladding is not my preference,i wanted tile hanging but the arch didnt want it

all scaffold down at the front now , just RW drains to sort out and maybe the drive

cheers LLL
