alas it's not mine it's on hire. I'd love to buy a digger but my work is so varied that I'm rarely using the same size from job to job. Next week I need a micro then after that it's a 5 tonner the job before this was a 3 tonner. It's easier and cheaper to hire although if the regeneration work that I've tendered for comes through I'll be buying one and a small telehandler.
Can't see it from my house

Top notch LLL what a twat in the skip truck!

I have been slowly getting wound up in Cardiff with the so called stone Mason, but snapped today when he butted in with the drop of a delivery cos he didn't want to move his van! I threw the fucks in to him and the knob head driver who had a Friday head on arrrhhh...... Dick heads!

Calm now.

the coursed stuff is only a border for the lydd beach shingle they want

been laying the blocks on 250mm of leanmix and haunching, but was thinking of using your sett mix on the wider areas
