Boxes to shore the bank? Braver man than me if that had slipped the box would be out the edge
I think what your getting at is the fact they probably ain’t doing a lot given one side is potentially loaded up to the top(bank side) and the other (house side) has very little against it?

it's not the greatest of jobs, we started it in April and then realised the architect hadn't spoken to the structural engineer enough and it had to go back to highways etc for redesign It's one of those jobs you wished you had never taken on but just have to continue and move on

Crike. Wall sounds a bit slim Jim! Is it going all the way down the side of the house?

Widened the top jaw on my quick hitch. It takes a lot of abuse being used with a grab and post knocker, plus Whites hadn’t welded it square in the first place 🙄. 30mm spiraband in a die grinder was just what the doctor had ordered for matching the two sides up. Then wrung the last bit of life out of a poor 30mm rota roach bit and welded before dressing with the spiraband as required. I also built up and dressed the edges of the plate where it had worn.

Most of the play was in fact coming from two tiny dimples of wear on the main sliding face, a five minute weld and grind job with no disassembly required- but widening the jaw will certainly help and I feel better for having done it. Things like the cone splitter are particularly bad for it.

If I had my time again I’d be all S30 but such is life.
