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

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
