Been let down by so called builders who where gonna dig out and put a concrete base down, they aint been back yet to finish drive either (thats another story) but i have the £££'s in me pocket so they either finish it or get nowt..........

But whilst the missin so called tradesmen have been away

What fun iv'e had with a hired mini digger, iv'e done it for 1/2 the price (the base) and had great fun too, even pulled a hedge up thats been bugging us since wev'e been here............. think i may go into "ground work", anyone want owt digging up ive got it for another week..........

those machines are GREAT fun!!! we hired one a while ago to move a mound of soil, i dont recall having had that much fun before or since

theres a place oop north called diggerland, near newcastle guess what you do there!

I'd have had the chainsaw to some of that wood, stock up for next winter. I know what you mean about builders Jon, it took us over 2 years to get our roof done. They all came out and gave estimates then never turned up for the job and it was for cash in hand.

The tool you realy want to try is skid steer loaders (bobcats). I've seen them at shows, they start with a flat site and by the end of the show theres a massive hole with the skid steers raceing in and out like ants.

The other digging tool to trie is older JCB's like 3c3. If you have the balls, you can push them right on to thier side with the back actor, and then push them back upright again.

A foundry I worked in had a new ingot pit dug out by a couple of JCB drivers and the first thing they asked was how much the overhead crane could lift. One then dug the pit out by manoeuvring from one end to the other while his mate cleared the spoil away and when he got to the finished depth they hung it on the crane and lifted it out. Brilliant and quick.
