Ridiculously nice work!
Are you pleased with the Wacker/grab setup?

I couldn't be happier with the Wacker/ grab. Incredibly strong lifter for it's size and super build quality. What pleases me the most as wasn't sure when I ordered it was how high I can work the grab in close to the machine. Which is a real positive when walling in a tight spot!

But it must have been a nightmare sitting by different pools, drinking different company-paid-for cocktails, knobbing different trolley-dolly’s week-in, week-out on the long-haul layovers.
You should really have a bit of sympathy for the poor old bugger…

Pilot needs his rest! I’d rather than a well rested/‘relaxed’ pilot rather than a pilot that has just had to drop the oil out of the engine before the flight oh and hasn’t had his leg over in afew weeks

One of the air hostesses told me the 747's use to have a bedroom for the crew so the pilot could do the servicing mid flight

Done this retaining wall job the last week retaining a higher yard which will eventually be the parking area for the house. Some big bits to get in the base but otherwise Wacker and grab did most of it including 2 sets of steps using some old granite gateposts.

looks like more lovely walling

Neighbour at my last place was a pilot, he flew long haul , flew out oneday, lay over for afew days then flew back, then 4 days off.. was explaining to me how if he thew a sickie the night before his flight he’d get 8 days off on full pay etc! Always away on holidays - Tui have a private system which they could just pick up bargain last minute holidays from. I half considered a career change .. I’m just not very good at being told what to do

I'm sure you could let a few of the air hostesses tell you what to do.
