That looks an utter nightmare. Hope you've plenty of spare chains

The 300k ‘estimate’ will more than cover it

Yeah, it is incredible. The buildings themselves are very impressive - I’m sure it will all be amazing again one day!

Some kind of detention centre for us non believers no doubt

Back to the compost bin job, 24ft wasn't enough so we're going to 32ft
Been a casualty though, my trestles have had a little lay down

Had a good scoop out of the bog to make a pond on Wednesday. s**t pics, sorry.

Today I’m capping the sludge banks with some sand from the sand martin nesting site. Great machine for the job and a very comfortable place to spend a shift I must say.

 

[Furniss]

Did well with that machine, you got some great value, years ago I bought a mint 8060 with about 2000hrs on for 10k - remember thinking how much money that could make us for such a small outlay, I mean no comparison to the 6t and tilty we have now in productivity and cup holders but back then tilt hitches were hardly on the radar so I thought it was the biz !

Busy week coming up, definitely the biggest treatment plant we've put in
