Watertable & Percolation Tests

Poor Uncle Tom

I lodged a planning application recently and on week 6 I got a request for FI. Basically I was asked to redo the tests on site with the planning officer in attendance.

Just back in now and it turns out all the planner wanted was a demonstration on how to do the tests, how to work out the results, times for watertable, how to judge a pass, etc.

I needn't tell you how mad I am. All is well with the tests, the results are fine, as they were the first time I did them and the planning permission will be out shortly. I see this as an abuse of position, and I don't like it. I have nothing against the planner personally, it is the general attitude that stinks.

I do not believe in violence, never have. But I do believe in natural cosmic balance, which is way off kilter right now. When I think of a way to even the odds with the planners for this I will post it here.:mad:

Just remind the planner that at some stage in the future, you'll need a favour.

I don't know there's some planners around here need to learn how to read drawings never mind do perc test!!!:rolleyes: I hope that is was a recently appointed planning officer on their very very first job otherwise I'd wonder what they did for the other trial holes?? HHmmm big hole, muck, some numbers on some paper must be ok!!!:D

Hahahaaaaa:D
Thats exactly what I thought watching him look into the test holes.

Smashey, I did extol the benefits of mutual back scratching to him, he seemed amused.

Muffler, money just isn't enough here, blood is too much. Causing embarrasment is just childs play. I need to cause major humiliation, not for the planner but for the planning department. This has to be good, it is going to take planning, it will take time, it will take effort, it will be sooo satisfying, I will try not to break too many laws.

Now where did I leave the number for the Times......
