Why couldn't ye just drop, at least, the major bulk in with a digger? (Genuine question) They have to be stacked, almost like a drystone wall ( for the look ) the meter cube ones on the bottom have divider’s in them so just the expensive limestone is at the front that you can see and we drop the rubble in the back but you still have to make sure you don’t push the sides out or it’s a nightmare to get the lids closed 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeppers. Some reason, I was just vaguely assuming they'd be 'covered up' in some way, in the end. With ye now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 20,883 Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 I've really gone off guns but the lad had been asking so planned a bit of a day. Took him to the gun shop to trade my silenced .410 for an unsilenced one for as he was struggling to aim around the silencer. They only had expensive ones in. Even the little single barrel we choose was brand new and more than I wanted to pay. The lad then declared he was still wearing his slippers as he had forgot to put his wellies on . Another £40 down for new wellies as it was half an hour home and we were already late. £6 a box for .410 cartridges and we walked out kitted up but 200 notes down! Anyway we had a cracking afternoon, the little gun knocked a few down that I would of been happy with using a 12 bore. He missed a few and got one out sitting in a tree. Even got a nice little summer tipple from the farm shop! Think I need smaller cartridges for the nipper next time as the 3" magnums fairly kicked in the little gun. Anyway one of my most enjoyable days shooting ever having the lad with me. 13 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
