How fussy were they on the collection?
We had one collected last year that had a proper good old twat up the rear corner ..charged an extra £210 .... Easily a few £ks worth of damage

Haven't heard yet, not looking forward to it!
The guy was very thorough, fair play he knew what he was doing. Came up lovely after a professional clean but I'm not sure it did me any favours, shows up all the little scratches

Normally you'll know straight away as you have to sign his report before it leaves...you might be in luck if no reports.

Funny but although its different I dont mind a few hours on an old school setup - different way of working but if you've been at it long enough its business as usual.

Mines been off all week, ripping up concrete swapping between breaker/3ft. Think I’ll leave it off for crusher loading too..

@doobin style, got some steep banks to flail. Hopefully the extra weight might help

Somehow lost an entire afternoon fitting roof rails and then making cross bars for the disco. One of those jobs that would be described as a 1 Spanner difficulty job in a magazine but in reality involved a shed load of tools, taps and drills, and about 100 trips up the step ladder, which I'd forgotten was slightly broken, nearly threw me on the floor at one point
Done now, ready for paint then it can all be bolted down and the roof tent fitted Which is lucky as my first trip away in it is only 2 weeks away

Also got a few paving slabs laid this morning so things are ready for Monday, let's see what the weather does

I've been stuck before, but never marooned.
On a bank, any problems go down. Got into a corner and couldn't get out. Stream one side, fence other, bog other way.
Had to fetch mini digger

well you gave that a scalping Dylan ..... bugger of a corner to go into, aside from getting back out

I don't do ladders, end of.

Not scared of heights one bit, just don't do ladders.

heights nor ladders have ever bothered me ... top of a 16ft triple is exciting though ... as much as getting the damned thing up in fact ... as is the climb up " Boing said Zebedee "

Ladders never did til one day, where they did. Nothing wrong or out of ordinary while on them but from that point onwards ladders just became a no. There's no rhyme or reason to thar day but it just stopped me point blank from climbing them again.

As I say stood on top of high things doesn't fuss me but if I'd have to climb a ladder to get there, it would
