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..........

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.

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

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.
