its the new variation of dartmoor heathers,same as the old ones but with bigger holes?
the mate i did it for kept trying to cut corners but i did my best to give him a decent job
i refused to build the gable last night off towers so he had to get the scaffs in
they pulled up at 8.30 today and smashed straight into his retaining wall
what is it with scaffolders???

That looks like really good workmanship.
There really is a difference between a good job and a very good job!

As always Tony great work I like the detail on the corners made out if the tiles, not quiet what to call them but I like them.

Not worth risking it for 150 is it

they are called knees giles,they are not truly correct but because they used roofing tiles on the house then i had to follow suit to make them match
normally i would use a flat creasing tile for that detail
cheers LLL :)

I see you used tjc hire there. I have an account with them, but haven't used them for about 10 years!. I tend to use whoever is local to where i am working, and i don't get out to leighton buzzard much!

i didnt hire them i just rang the digger guy and went with the flow
he loves those takeuchis but found the 1.5T a little underpowered in the rock hard ground we were on
he owns a 3t and 5 t and they would eat it alive but the access is bad
