Pissing about with only half a clue on the shed site.

Back on the weekend project. Got the rest of my new Lego blocks used up.
Need another £800 - £1000 worth to finish this off. Bit of a bodge up but will sort the issue until I get around to building a proper wall when I have time and money and inclination . Probably not this decade. Will pour some gravel down the back of the boards and plant a bamboo hedge on top to help tie the soil together.
I can order some more scalpings/ 803 and some aggregate now that I have somewhere clean to tip it .
Moved about 20t of waste hardcore with the Tafe and got some Teram down so that the next load of hardcore can be tipped where I want it to save moving it twice.
Proper wet today . No cab on the digger or dumper or tractor. At least the Moffett has a bit of Perspex which channels the run off onto my right hand .

couldn't you have used your crane attachment to handle those blocks Ben ?

Yes.. and it would be better as a hook would allow me to rotate the blocks as well, however I was using the forks to move the boards about and the Jib would have got in the way when I was tipping the boards over with the forks.
Might try it on next time as I need to fit some in the corner which will be harder to do with forks.

Short days play on the project today. Borrowed the Kubota and started moving the stockpile of hardcore around. It’s looking messy and annoying me . I’ve got a couple loads of scalpings and 803/planings to tidy it up and allow the wacker to work its charm. Hopefully next weekend.

could do with a crusher to run that through Ben .... or a 13/15 tonner to track it in a bit

I wish! Scrape of scalpings over the top and then the BIG wacker settles it all out pretty well. Got to make do with what I have on the odd day I can get to it .

God I miss the long light evenings Couple of hours at the weekend poking skip hardcore about until it’s flattish. Charles came up to measure my gates to start make a 20ft electric opening for them. Decided he wanted the gates at his shop as we are going to cut 8” off the bottom and add an extra hinge.
Back today to empty the Ifor Lm166 off and load up the gates. Flat tyre discovered but easy to sort with moffett and impact wrench in the van.
Fuelled the moffett and topped up hyd oil and ran it half a mile up the road for neighbour Dan to borrow for a couple of days on his shed project. It’s not much fun to road it with hydraulic drive, if you run at 100% revs it seems to get hot after half a mile.
The beacon got knocked off by an errant ladder in a recent storm , so I’ve bought a cordless magnetic one from Amazon . VERY bright!
