The 'Today's Job' thread

[V8Druid]

Finally dry enough to work here. Clearing for a customers house and sewerage field plus I have to clear some of the neighbours property so he has a large enough asset protection zone for bush fire protection requirements!

Shame to take down these large trees There is cleared land on the property but the way it's been agglomerated from three separate blocks mean the wooded area has to be cleared to have the house on it and the cleared area has to be revegetated!

Haulotte has been excellent for the job. Broke a bucket tooth on it yesterday and found they're rare and don't exist in Australia. Only available from Europe with a 2-3 month wait Pinched a tooth off another bucket so I can get on with the job before it rains again.

Nothing much exciting riddled the waste pile just before rain ready for new toy arriving, told architect and pm from trust we were recycling the native soil to avoid site contamination and reduce our carbon footprint. They nearly wet themselves ticks alot of boxes for them.

Ripped out some twinwall site manager 1 had installed with agency clowns when we couldn’t start as on other job. They’d not seated them correctly or got enough depth then run over them with 1 ton dumper gone through pipe and tipped dumper over .

Had new cctv drain camera out to inspect their work, they’ve also got huge low spot in it holding water which we are going to have to pull out and redo all wasted money.

Raking gardens over for planting
