My mates having a strange week
Tuesday he goes to a job, strip off lawn, bank up at back. Neighbour says 'I need that, can you do mine' so he did it yesterday.
Then he rings me, is my 217 available today, his is out on hire and he's had a last minute job come in through another builder- strip off lawn and bank up at the back

Thought we’d abused the pickup enough with the grass cuttings so went back for a dumper for the scrapes.
