ok 5 days of non stop rain is starting to piss me off now!

anyone close to being flooded ?

I'm 2 days away from completing a job that's been ongoing for 6 months. Thank god we had a dry spring as its proper wet on the fields now. Just some tidying up of bund's to do, small bit of stock fencing to finish, but if I take the plant on the field its going to make more mess than its worth. The path I put in down next to the river is underwater as the rivers burst its banks - I've got to hand that over somehow next week!
Still, its saved the hour job of watering the trees every day so swings and roundabouts I suppose

Weather is shite, but everything's out. One 7t is functioning on weekly hire as a compound machine loading the skip lorry a couple days a week... the other is busy visiting landscaping jobs that are being supplied with soil by the skip lorry. Theme of the month is the skip lorry If I had two of them they would both be out atm.

pretty PO-ed with it, but drains all coping admirably .... must've had some rain last night .... Clara's lil' barrow was completely empty yesterday and Pam's 'bird bath' bowl had an inch in it, after i'd tipped it out yesterday evening !!

How the hell the weather people can say we had 10mm last night is beyond me ??

fish pond's overflowing, as usual in this sort of weather and field ditch beside the drive brim full ..... 'twas deffo wet last night ... apart from the previous few days monsoon style downpours

and on the subject of weather, was watching this earlier ...... some scary sh*t on there

[TiltyShaun]

At around 4.45pm I was seriously thinking what have I done buying another digger. Got to have been one of the worst working days I have ever had with mud and rain. I used to just look out the window and stay home. Now people expect me to carry on and get the job done!!

 

[Steve]

Ground conditions are a lot better already, I have just been out with the auger and it is surprisingly dry underneath.

bring it up here @Steve .. we could do with a well

 

[fred]

still soaking here, strange the EA posted last week that the aquifer is only just over 50% full.

 

[Steve]

Don't get me wrong we haven't had to drag out the dust suppression tankers yet but it is a massive improvement on last week.

 

[Alan caddy]

Weather here is pretty awful still been strong winds for the last two weeks and heavy rain luckily were on an island so the water doesn't take long to get to the sea

 

[TiltyShaun]

Yep. We are now digging like the blokes on Gold Rush. It is frozen. Mental note to put the thermal ski socks on tomorrow.
