watch it on youtube -- pins're well worn and ring gear looks to be a tad wobbly too ... was still cheap at that price and would've done you years of service probably

Apparently this is a country club and holiday park. Looks more like a concentration camp to me…

Can’t get through the barrier (without making a mess ) so just parked waiting for the customer to arrive.

Nice work. Would you not find it easier mounted from the bottom of the mast? I find this way I can get more height closer in- makes quite a difference- especially when on the 3 tonner.

[Furniss]

Trying to work whilst make some sense of shipping agent requests - needing to have an agent both sides - EORI numbers- T1 - phytosanitary certificates - custom codes ...what a fooking joke all to bring a 6t digger across the channel

On a serious note, it’s a tilting weir, for maintaining various water levels on a wetland project.
Before. There’s an existing control under water that you can’t see, a simple flap valve and it’s fooked…

Took a bit of faf to get it right

And it’s in, not fully finished round it, but as a weir it’s in and functional.
