Mulholland plant hire (northern Ireland)

[JimboCX]

Don’t know graham. I have never saw them. I spose you could always shutter off at the top and pour wet concrete into it. But it wouldn’t really look like much.

does anyone know if it's possible to get plain topped cap blocks to finish off with ??

I'm pretty sure you can.... nearly certain I seen them somewhere.

Man of your capabilities could knock up a mold no problem for some capped blocks to finish off with.

Hopkins concrete at Wincanton made the perimeter walls of their yard with lego blocks and have capping blocks on top - see picture. Not sure if they made them or bought them in as they went in before the plant was installed, from memory.

i've seen triangular ones, like coping stones .... just wondered if they did flat tops too ... dare say some one does

you could well be right Mark ... lot of mixing required though

Can’t be hard for them to close off the bottom of the mold with a flat insert (I assume they are cast upside down) to give a flat top surely?

Read me mind.

 

[V8Druid]

from what i have seen they're cast on their sides ..... but could easily blank off the up stands, as said

Nice tidy work there. Developer has got to be happy with that. How are you finding the Case CX37?

 

[fred]

those houses look bloody rough.

 

[Grahams]

Looks a lovely job as always. I do like the cabbed dumper - very civilised.

The brick work isn’t great. There was two different Brickie’s on site. One old man by himself laboured to himself and everything. His houses are The others not so. There’s an awful lot of efflorescent is it you call it in them. Is this caused by building when wet??

Yeah really like the 37 it’s a great machine. Nice and stable and has a lot of reach. One thing I don’t like is the position of the radio. It’s in the roof behind your head. And when you have the front window opend you have very limited access to get in to adjust the volume.

Yeah the cabbed dumper is a brilliant job. I have the Druid to thank for this one. He made me aware of it on eBay around this time last year I think it was.

saw it and thought of you straight away ..... was a bloody good price and looked to be a virtually bolt on job

Building wet doesn’t help but also depends on bricks. If that was on my site it would have been taken down. Some of it is just shocking. The best part is the stuff that was rendered.
But credit to the groundwork’s. Great to see the work that is obviously done with some pride!!

Took a little modification but I was able to do it all myself. And I’m no fabrication expert. The biggest task was the front window. I think it may have came off a 9ton and I was fitting it to a 6ton. So when you sat on the seat unless you where a giraffe. There was no chance of being able to see out the front window. I had to cut the window out bigger and then get my plant glazing man to cut me new window to suit. I also had to cut out the a panel to close up a gap at the back. I bolted this onto the bonnet so that it lifts with the bonnet to refuel. Instead of having to screw it off to let the bonnet open.

Well worth the time and effort I should think.

having spent months in the cab of that 9t Wacker with Alex a while ago .... cabs get my vote .. dry, warm and out of the wind .... would've been miserable without it ..... PITA scraping the frost/ice off, of a morning, but great for the rest of the day
