then ....... 5 days later .... Pam's preparations ...

my preparations ........

and yes they're all perfectly level and aligned ........ even if the camera says otherwise !!

....... then these arrived .....

28ft trailer .. only way to get around the corner into our drive --- 12 ft overhang over the hedges and around the bend at the lower end of our drive .. very carefully sussed and planned

on stand by at the corner, with a bucket full of 10t chains .... in case the arse of the trailer went in the stream ... came round sweet as

no 1 in ....

no 2 getting there ....

no 3 air borne -- 12t coming in ... t'others were 10 and 10.5t respectively

started at my yard at 08.00 ..... coffee/tea, bacon butties and cakes demolished by 13.00 ...

..... Russel and his crane gone ....... to a.n.other 'quick' afternoon job

all sat happily on their pads

and the rest, as they say, is history

So how many hrs have you done in it Graham. Bet pauls done a few more

I'll bet he has ....
thought I had the details for his somewhere ... deffo have the ebay pix ...
guy was asking circa 28k for it and wouldn't budge ... bet Mog gave him a kicking though
was a very tidy tool

still have Rads ID saved in me 'saved sellers' list ... used to get all sorts of interesting stuff

just been and looked at the 'Drema for you Boyo .... 5465.43 hrs

had 4504 on it when I bought it , so 961 hrs ... and thousands of tonnes of spoil out plus planings and stone in ...
has certainly changed the landscape around here

 

[Jimoz]

Bet its still worth what you paid 1000hrs of free hire

 

[V8Druid]

no question Jim ..... 's why I wanted to buy a machine, rather than hire summat in and rush to try and clear it all ... just could not have done it so tidily or without making a hell of a mess everywhere

 

[JD450A]

900 odd hours, 200 working, 700 on idle

Helps when you have the skills to maintain and tinker with em. Fair play

forgot to say when I went to look for Dylan earlier ..... this was on me bench ... tuna tin about 2" tall ...

overflowing with water from last night's/today's rain
more tomorrow - heavy - and Thursday .... bloody grass will be ankle deep again by the weekend

As Pam will agree, that will give you something useful to do

And lifted 100s of unnecessary attachment brackets........ sorry I just wanted to beat Rory to it

I'd already done that, after me hamster juice, before going outside ... I do a more systematic job and get everything in one hit .. good ol' Dyson has some sort of suck on it .... it gets stripped.cleaned and blown out with the compressor once a month .... God knows how 'Joe Public' manages without 150 psi .... the amount of tish that accumulates in the crevices and corners of it, is unreal .... 's like a new cleaner after every service

We've had a few dysons and one of them blocks all the time and gets the compressed air treatment too, some gaps which seem designed a bit small for their purpose in there imo

yeh ... some pretty stupid gaps/orifices in the damned things .... but do they ever suck after

As close as you will get

Funny thing often thought that , we've just got one of them little cordless ones, but yes needs a good blowjob so to speak every month or its utterly crap, htf punters supposed to use em. By contrast the Miele we've had for about 15 years has never missed a beat, goes to show Germans are better suckers I guess.

RC???

Hell yeah. Bluetooth which is nice. Using the brickcontroller app rather than the official Control+ app means I can use it with my Bluetooth gamepad also.
