Finally got the new floaty boots on the dumper today! View attachment 49138View attachment 49139

This is proving annoying ...Granite ! HM100 on the Kubota wasn't having it, it gets slow to fire when it's hot, once it fires it does alright....maybe needs gas ?
Anyhow the plant hire place didnt have a breaker that the 6.5t would pick up and wanted 800€ + vat for a 6.5t and breaker for the day,I think they think that when you hire something from them your basically happy to work for them for the day !
So got this fine example and it's breaker ....geeez it's like stepping back into the early 2000's !
Wacker was supposed to be in for the engcon fitted today but it's still needed on site.

Still on with this nightmare job, tried to get @hiluxman 4x2 grab up but wasn’t having it so nearest place we can run it was about 0.5 mile away on a side Road. Not ideal. Grab drivers arrived and he’s a new driver not used to grab so everything is a problem!

Oh abd starter motor gone on terex dumper over night or electrical gremlins

Ram raid on Lidl

Had to get farmer mate to move muck for grab, dumper new starter motor up And running so shifting muck again. Marko driver backed up all way Rd 3 tight corners fair play.

Masons cracking on lime pointing other job, @pettsy old scaffolding out for first jaunt

So we are saying the Marko driver is better than @hiluxman

No comment although he was coming in loaded and apparently had done it a lot to the big house on the end few years ago so slight advantage. Also not his wagon as his clutch was making its complaints known

I utterly don’t understand people who don’t shop in bulk when they have the space to store it (and it’s not like it’s a lot of space anyway). Every time I’ve needed something non-perishable in the last few years, I’ve bought ten year supplies of it and it’s out of my head. When I’ve got more space, I’ll be buying fifty year supplies. Better than money. 13% of my soap and razor blades won’t have evaporated by this time next year.

 

[Mogman]

Had to deliver and place a rather large beam into the back garden

And if you think that’s tight try getting an artic past the school traffic double parked on a shitty new housing estate

My wife tells me off for doing this. I would happily be like those American doomsday people with a garage full of non perishables

 

[Furniss]

Was a bit of a base model I think !

Got it in after lots of banging...... customer went out because it was upsetting them !

Wacker gets dropped off for engcon in morning, considering the bucket scenario I'm more anxious than I should be !!
