do you not have to be 3m from boundaries Giles? ..
and max 2.5m on mono pitch - 4m on dual pitch ..
pretty sure that's the PD round here with a max 30m2 footprint per unit, with no interconnecting structures .....
oh and no toilet either.
unless it's changed in the last couple of years
interesting use of shuttering for the panels

Our consultants have just got us through a ridiculously big extension under PD, full on abuse of the system!

I’ve gone gypo. ‘As I’m in the neighbourhood…’

Bloke down the road- “how much to remove dwarf wall Inc footings so I can fence?”

£850 mate.

Done. When can you do it?

Now.

Two £100 grabs of clean hardcore away this pm if all goes well.

Flat out like a badger on a bypass. Harry is doing twelve cube of deliveries today that we got a head start on last night. Cab still full of sawdust from the big oak job

looked like this yesterday….View attachment 54237View attachment 54239View attachment 54240

Now looks like this. Gonna dig out and lay type 1 then Hoggin back and front plus new fence.

How can a loader fail to add to the bottom line on jobs like this??? Although the grab is the star of the show for clearance. View attachment 54241View attachment 54242

Little loaders are priceless once your used to them

Could put a quote in for landscaping in spring

Stop picking on me. I’m in the big boys club now

Got back at half two after doing a rough scrape with the multione ready to dig properly to levels tomorrow.

Steelwrist pallet was here. I was going to hold off doing the e19 but when I ordered the scandi e27 grading bucket and trencher from steelwrist (aiden is doing the hitch) they said they had an e19 hitch in stock. As we have a fair run of work for her coming up, I went for it.

It’s very well made. Super low build hight, came with a nice lifting eye. Expander pins are a very nice touch.

Hoses are a mess but not as bad as they could be! I’ll work it like this and get it fitted onto the e27 too before sorting the hoses properly. These were the original owners hoses and my original hitch hoses.

I can’t wait to see what @V8Druid has to say about those hoses after he mauled mine!!

 

[Furniss]

Should post that photo on the engcon facebook page for a bit of fun

Looking forward to seeing what you reckon and how well the digger share concept pans out

It’s only really the old hitch circuit hoses that let the side down. And I’m going to sort it properly…

I’m certainly very glad that I specced the e19 with short dipper, twin aux and hydraulic hitch. Just wish I’d specced s30 as well!!
