Feral as Fk 🐾
Even more than this morning🤔🤣🤣🤣

To be honest in terms of entertainment value between this mornings covert op, calling Gunners Hunter Hoffman and a Utter Spazwangle proving himself on facebook today has been pretty good.

We have also learned that the 6t Benfords Perkins Phaser has been eating oil due to a wrongly fitted head (Bolts loose) so that's also a plus.

Pallet and 2 sheet of ply for me whilst trapped and digging dead end to dead end on a strip trench for me.
That was on a micro and self barrowing for me.

That's both why I'm not an operator and I don't do that s**t anymore.

Worked though.

When using the micro it's a set of 10 ft ally ramps for me, and I also use them to load the machine into the tipper at the end of the day..

This job has enough cowboys as it is!

The ramps are handy for that, I use mine all the time for barrowing concrete into founds etc. I really should invest in some ally ones though, the steel ones aren’t getting any lighter.
Had to improvise here when the tracked barrow couldn’t get round the back of the house 🤦🏻‍♂️

I was digging footings up against a vertical bank using a micro, 18" wide dig and expecting to have to refill with loose to get out, when I spotted the waste pile waiting for a skip. Ten minutes later the trench was packed with polystyrene insulation offcuts, topped off with scrap ply and I was out without having to pick up a shovel 😀

First time I've seen one of those new concrete barriers actually breached. Not sure how that section is made, but the cast in situ ones take a hell of a beating and seem to survive. Wonder if it was one of the precast sectional ones? Not sure how they are fixed down.
Hope they are cracking on with it, I'm going past that way tomorrow.

They're heavy buggers and if they're going at their limit the momentum will be considerable!

Article says the road has been re-opened and re-surfaced too.

I'd have just kept on going, never stop on the crossing - if you can't move - get out and get clear!
