Anything off tarmac here is a bog now.
The top six inches here are so wet a slurry pump would shift it quicker than an excavator. However below that it's still really dry. And plenty firm enough to drive on if you can keep the water off. Problem is it just rains constantly. Had to strip the bulk of the oversite but leave a sacrificial layer that could be striped quickly and get the terram and type one back on as the ground was stripped otherwise it just went to sludge

Yesterday’s job, pulling out wunbushes and piling them ready for a big bonfire
The weekends job, stripping 390 down, head gasket decided it didn’t want to do it’s job anymore. While stripping it discovered someone has put too long a bolt on the inlet manifold and it was jammed against a push road, which had worn a groove in it and bent it

Another day on my 'other job' yesterday. An acoustic enclosure around domestic aircon machines. Absolutely hammered down while we were putting it together. Luckily most of the carrying was through a building. We actually carried 3 of the bits that need some bits attaching on site back inside to get a bit of rest from the rain. In the afternoon it was back in my mates workshop finishing the frame of a removable chip/brash box for my defender/10x5 trailer. All done from steel box that came, along with quite a lot more, in a 3 ton tipping farm trailer I bought at auction, 2 miles from home for £250, right result! Some of the lengths were a bit bowed but I tried to cut around this and once it's clad it'll look fine
first real project using a mig welder myself and I'm looking forward to the next.
To be honest I've spent so long in the workshop the last 2 weeks, interrupted by small jobs of very low value for lovely but slightly infuriating customers that I have no enthusiasm to get back to landscaping at all
starting a bigish patio on Monday, I'm sure the up front payment and a couple of days on the digger will change that

Forgive the no doubt very basic question but what sort of spec do you promise when doing a job like that? Tolerances for flatness, fall etc.

Generally just depth of excavation, sub base and capping layer, membrane or not. You’re working to existing levels at the edges.

And we generally aim for no puddling for flatness.
