The next morning as we pulled in the drive she came out and told us how she'd saved the pad from the rain with a smile on her face, she then showed us the plastic sheet she had laid over it that now held a puddle of a fair size and her smile soon died a death when i pulled off the plastic to show her the permanent pond sized dip she now had in her pad .... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavross 13,872 Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 A proper headache this bloke. Putting a section wall up, said we’d put the concrete in then the posts up last job giving the concrete time to go off, he doesn’t want to wait and as he owns a engineering company he’s done what every engineer does and made some ridiculous framework that’s got no tolerance and has to be in the right place ( the tw*t ) I was going to go today but thank god for the rain, so I went and carried on with my painting at the stables 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavross 13,872 Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Section steels up and stoned out, the plank has cost himself 2 days by having us put the steels in like this, I must of measured the gaps a 100 times, because once the concrete is in that’s it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
