The 'Today's Job' thread

[Left hooker]

It’s a lump for sure. It’s too big if I’m honest, if I were to do it again I’d do a few things differently, size being one of them. But that’s all part of the learning process.

What size machine was that built for

 

[6feetdown]

My mrs has mentioned it à few times

I'm not going down that rabbit hole

Back on site this afternoon. Loadall driver had left me a pile of “good hardcore” so I could make him a road through back gardens so he could set some slabs up. Road made, and refilled in again. Awful horrible sticky sh1t, not the best but will do until it’s time to finish the gardens

Looks like you're definition of road differs from mine, or certainly "good hardcore" does

Can't fathom how tilt bucket can be so bad on fittings, it's not like a breaker which pulses the oil.

The problem with those couplers is keeping them clean when not connected. If you can get genuine Holmbury flat face couplers I find they last many times longer than other makes, especially Chinese rubbish.
