Great pictures, proper muck shifting!
On a site like that do all the contractors draw fuel from one source or do you all make your own arrangements? Wonder how many litres a day/week are being consumed - or is that confidential?

So true about dumptruck drivers! :roll: When they get the start they get a ball of invisible string to tie to the truck in front. And don't forget if you turn your back its the law that they have to tip on the last load left with a four foot gap between the edge of the fill and the pile leaving an anoying hole to fill in!!!!!!! :doh: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Another great bit of video. There's certainly a gap in the market since the untimely demise of the late Grahame Miller - a retirement project may be? Second thoughts - we can't wait that long!
Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year - keep'em coming!
