Nothing wrong with old s**t if it is reliable. Lots of the pre computer stuff will go for ever.
Glad you are busy. Thought of you the other day when I was working at Torpoint with a hired 8 tonner, but thought it was too far.
Graham

We would happily of sent you one mate, torpoints further than normal but for people we like we will go the distance

Another item of s**t brought, cheap enough with a sandblaster too. Went in the stores and found a Airpick but it would appear our old hammers have been scrapped

On a Pond dredging job ATM, off to shift a machine in the next hour as the forcast has changed and we now need to be out of there by sunday morning.... crack the whip.

And Regy has done a sterling job of the forum. Can even change the titles!

If that’s the case I hope to be in touch shortly. Rather give you the business than A Plant, although Bodmin depot is good.

No worries mate, there not the newest but tend to be pretty bulletproof. If I've a spare one at the time then it won't be a problem.

Bit of Dredging today. TBH this job was really lined up for next year but the exceptional weather this summer has made it practical to make a start now. Unsure if we will do it all in this stint as there are other jobs to do including removing and rebuilding the pond's dam (it's failing structurally) before it's refilled.

Once we are out of here on sunday, the original is heading to do two other dredging jobs whilst the new one is off to do a tour de building site.

It is indeed, two houses. Converted Agri Shed, it's the new in thing to get round planning..... Buy a agricultural shed, get planning to do a "barn conversion" and then your away. Still unsure if it's to my taste but can be achieved nicely. We are doing two Atm....

Oh and point 1 and 2, ROPS is off for those reasons.
"Where there is a risk of rollover, this should be minimised by stabilising the work equipment, with a structure provided - such as a ROPS (rollover protective structure) - with sufficient clearance for anyone being carried. Where there is a risk of crushing, a suitable restraint system should always be provided for anyone being carried, unless such a system would:

• increase the overall risk to safety
• make the equipment significantly more difficult to operate (and thus not be reasonably practicable)
• not be reasonably practicable to put in place (eg for very old equipment, in use at work before 5/12/1998)"

Try and get some more photos of the agri shed Rory I think that's a cracking idea open plan and relatively easy build against a conventional house

Prefer to do a new build from scratch. All the insulation and structural alterations while still keeping the outside the same.sounds hard work.

I was working on a site they where doing this the other day it was a concrete pillard shed to begin with the inside is a mazamine floor and the walls are all but free standing looks a very cheap way of doing it v newbuild outside walls where featheredge with huge sheets of kingspan internall walls where standard 2x4 frame work with rockwool
Pipework and cables mostly surface mounted apart from internal walls

 

[V8Druid]

If I were to build a house it'd be steel-frame ..... or Kingspan TEK panel ...... or/and a combination of both .... extremely quick builds

I'm amazed that not more steel frame barns haven't been converted in the last couple of decades ... plenty of unused/redundant ones about
