so as it happens,, today and tommorrow was forecast as the best as regards weather that we are likely to see for the next week or so


so ,mr ready mix ( lafarge) was called this morning to order the delivery ,,,,the price had gone up  Shocked Shocked so they were promtly ,sacked,, Roll Eyes

and more phone calls made,,
which resulted in ,mr batchmix, all the way from doncaster giving the best price (£140 cheaper than lafarge inc delivery over 20 miles)

they said they could send it in a small truck and maybe do two runs  as access is very,,very,, tight down a ten foot entry with a r/h bend partway down
which now measures 9 foot due to a leaning wall that no one dare go near  Shocked Shocked and a thick privet/hawthorne hedge and a tree.

so guess what turned up  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes a 6 wheeler

the driver was a ,diamond ,geezer,, after struggling at the first attemp he reversed all the way down and round
oldmetalhead, on here knows how tight it is  Wink Wink

we had a tremendus storm and high winds last night and i was so worried about the concrete getting spoilt i was up at 3am checking and making things safe,,
luckily we had the vital area sort of covered and the fence,, strategictly placed vehicles, and the old shortened garage kept 99.5% of the weather off

thank god  Roll Eyes

so by lunvh time today it was set enough to ,gently,, walk on
going to leave it a couple of days then organise the block work which there maybe a  chance of getting done between christmas and new years eve,,
