Seeing as everyone else is putting theirs up, I have a large project under way here
Photo 1.
Specialised digging equipment bought in for the job. I had to buy it in just for this job as I'm told there are not many people around anymore who know how to operate complicated excavating tools such as the fine example below. I have not decided yet, but I may sell on DD after the job is complete, keep an eye out.
Photo 2.
With the sections cut I then had to haul the spoil away from the project area. This task required niche skills of providing a lubricated (read wet) pathway and plenty of forward momentum delivered by Dunlop shod shanks mare.
Photo 3.
God, I am informed, has declined to make any new land. So, I decided I would. Naturally this will cause waves on my SFP maps in the Spring, but needs must. On wards and upwards.

Finished for the morning. 700 yards of finely crafted brand spanking new watercourse 0 -

I'm sure the owner would take you up on that offer. He said he's never hit rock in his 40years working his farm. He said he thought he hit rock 8 or 9 years ago when digging out for a slatted tank, but is was only a large boulder.0 -

I can't even imagine that. I remember someone talking to me about foundations before, sure just go into the field and scoop out the soil and work away.
Had to explain about rock breakers, and explosives 0 -
