The bulkers will be full but only carrying half a tonne I’d imagine!
We cleared the site of a food factory earlier this year that was approx 4 acres of heavily insulated building - I can’t begin to imagine what it must have cost to get rid of all of the cladding from site. There was mountains of the stuff, and it made a hell of a mess as soon as it was ‘manipulated’ with the demo excavators. I half-thought it might have been cheaper to strip it and stack it all by hand - possibly even find a market for its reuse?

Defo a market for it second hand
It doesn't go for far off new prices for decent sized sheets
And still a fair wedge for basically rubbish

Little trenching job for me today.150 meters 4ft deep trench for ground source heating. Glad I had new teeth on for this job- diggable rock- then collapsible but nice to be away from granite for a change.

Madness isn’t it, but time is money! Get it down and get the site repurposed as quick as possible! Should see what some of the old steel frame buildings go for at farm sales, they’d have a field day on these kinda sites!!

It's due here Saturday we will see how far we have got by then filling the hole back up

I've refused to leave the road with the machine though don't think it would come back out till summer

 

[DaveDCB]

Yea, only very quickly roughed that out as it had forecast heavy rain so wanted it sealed up! Plus it’s been planted ontop of next week so no point in going all fancy on it.
It did get me thinking how long it would of taken without a tilty!!
