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.

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.

calm down dear :)
they are Buckingham brindle's,i prefer the Blenheim blues myself but its not my house
the coursed stuff is only a border for the lydd beach shingle they want
have to do a 1200 path around the oval and some other stuff in herringbone
been laying the blocks on 250mm of leanmix and haunching, but was thinking of using your sett mix on the wider areas
is it 4:1 grit sand :cement?
cheers LLL :)
