Bummer weather...

Can't help feel we may regret flattening power stations in the future...

It’s insanity in my opinion. Imagine trying to get a new one through planning!

Just seems to be the way for us as country. Cutting all levels of self sufficiency in the name of something else. Be it farming, power, timber suplie, manufacturing- I'm not sure what the point of us is going to be before long

It strikes me that we are currently going through the Industrial Revolution in reverse. I dread to think where we will be in 20 years time.

Tak + tree shear + those thin concrete supports...could have been video of the year if you could run fast

Apparently they cut some of those supports away and had a 6 tonner in the ponds below the towers removing what are essentially plastic mezzanine floors (I guess they are designed to help the water vapour condense) before demolition to prevent cross-contamination. No way would I want to be anywhere near that job, the towers were absolutely knackered (you could see daylight through them in loads of places)!

Should have had the hardcore cleared away by now, would have made life a lot easier! Regardless they are coming out eventually!

Too wet for this weeks planned job, reorganize and drop onto something we can do , an old farm job, track in and little ditch at side, stone up next.

Sacked off the planed foundation dig this week. Came home and faded around cleaning the 120 roller ready to go out on Thursday. Now have the battery light permanently on.
Where is the alternator on a Terex Benford Tv1200. I am guessing it is high up behind the ducting for the air inlet?

Makes a change me watching and not either on the 432 nor a grab.

The great garden room build, yesterday in the wet and cold tree surgeoning before starting build. We opened up the stream and cut 20’ off hollies behind.(before pic from field behind, not my fence!)

Today started using up the old concrete shutters we’ve had in barn for a while, had my joinery hat on. Mrs wants a window in back to stream but might have to disguise opening until after sign off lol or go full planning route not pd.

do you not have to be 3m from boundaries Giles? ..
and max 2.5m on mono pitch - 4m on dual pitch ..
pretty sure that's the PD round here with a max 30m2 footprint per unit, with no interconnecting structures .....
oh and no toilet either.
unless it's changed in the last couple of years
interesting use of shuttering for the panels

no you don't,

in England anyway its uptown 50% of your garden, within 2m of boundary limited to 2.5m total height but its measured from the highest adjacent ground. which is giving me an extra 400mm

if within 1m of boundary has to be 30 min fire resistant cladding , im 110mm

over 30m2 it has to have building regs, so im building mine with building regs

can't be a bedroom,

shutters only used once so saved a lot in time building walls and cost, need to build a box section goal post for the 4m bifolds

got 3 walls up today

How many shutters have you built in the last couple of years with this in mind?!..

 

[doobin]

looked like this yesterday….

Now looks like this. Gonna dig out and lay type 1 then Hoggin back and front plus new fence.

How can a loader fail to add to the bottom line on jobs like this??? Although the grab is the star of the show for clearance.

Wasn’t planning on one, but neighbours being twits about our extension meant we had to make it smaller and step it twice rather than a rectangle.

Now muttering about garden room lol serves em right haha
