We’ve been just filling 10 litres at a time so leaving them empty

Got to site this morning bonnet praised open cap and filter gauze gone and the few litres left in bottom gone

But I’d set 3 cameras up so fingers crossed we got some good pics! Just need to get iPad to check them.

If they're going to that trouble you'd think they may as well nick the machine to make it worth the effort!!

Decking removal on a roof. Loader saves a lot of effort and more importantly, mess- given how rotten it all is

Pool guys have started installing their pipes, like a tube map! Mad. Going to be fun back filling.

several yards of slurry mix ... will find all the 'pockets' then backfill over the resulting 'slab'

Was going to say similar.. I’d probably go for very dry sand and the wet it up so it flows around everything and grabs it.

Todays Job = Classroom day :-(

Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health - 3 hours

PPE - 1 hour

Legionella Awareness - 2 hours.


To be fair the first one was better than I expected. Guy delivering the course is ex Police with his own history of PTSD and depression, so he was reasonably passionate about the subject.

PPE just normal, although we discovered that the apprentices hard hat is older than him, and mine was made while Diana was still alive. (They have a life span - who knew!?)

Last one was most annoying as we know more than the teacher as it’s a large part of our training and part of our 5 yearly re assessment on Water Regs and G3-Building regs.

I've heard very mixed reviews of the mental health one. It seems the teacher really does make a vast difference on this one.

I’d imagine it’s a hard one to deliver to some audiences ..

Likewise i think it would be very easy to make it droll and boring. And some of the people that find their way into trainer positions really don't belong there

Sadly the cameras didn’t sgis anything the older one in the digger looking out the side window at the bonnet didn’t activate despite being on and setup launched it into bin. The other two didn’t captcher anything other than dancing very bright branches or nettles stormy night meant water on lens and infrared blocked by nettles etc so just very bright nettles etc

I’ve repositioned them with a lot more thought and care now, moved machine away from road so least got a trek if they want the 2 litres or so in it. Was beeping for last 20 mins

Found the Kubota cap 50m back down the road by the parking bit and the Gaussian filter wasn’t far away

Ordered a 4g camera to mount on cabin and bought a pay as you go data sim
