Not quite 'todays"...couple week back installed some Armco on site that had just been guarded by crowd barriers,last six month,project manager ordered materials,assistant pm,works manager,supervisor said just install them,1200 mm posts,610 mm out of ground,lorry holding area?
One Google search said wrong,why not get 1500mm posts only take couple days,no keep on!
Last week went back unbolt Armco,install 1500 between existing posts,£10+k down plus reputation...lol client started self delivery,left job on Friday,easier to hand in notice than book holidays,plenty work on darn sarf,specially if firm does job twice!

Customer doesn't want to buy any soil in so trying my best to create something half decent. Using the rake to take majority of stones out. Rest will roll down. Fair pile out of this one corner.

Had a day helping a mate whos son I ride trials with pull some garage footings - he lives over an hour away so i took the dumper and he hired a digger ..... short blade / engine a bit wheezy/zero tail swing made it a bit tippy and didn't have the power of the kx71 but tbf It was better than I expected, not as savage on tracks as KX71 so easier to drive off the pedals, v fast in the slew and smooth on the levers - paint a bit JCB ish though.
A hitch you prob don't see much in uk.

Don’t use the micro much but when you need it you need it! Wouldn’t be without the grab on it either. Saves hours.

Can’t beat a Doobin™️ Mount for the mixer either. By far the easiest way to mix small amounts on site using your own materials.

It’s well within rated capacity 😉

Compressor runs the air spade and nail gun. What’s wrong with the bottle?
do you pay B O C rent for it ? 'cos they'll want all the back rent for it since it disappeared out of circulation if they see it ;) ... they have a team of people going 'round and about re-possessing buckshee cylinders ... and they ALWAYS prosecute unauthorised possession .... just saying like :rolleyes::unsure:
