Thanks for the great advice 😁🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽

Spot on! Always use Dig Safe (or the Brit equivalent) to verify where the lines and pipes are first.

Cheers John , it was a stressful one indeed , that machinery is small but takes up a hell of a lot of room 😵‍💫😬🧱👍🏼

Routinely send to dig fittings and pipe slits by hand…never had a machine on site (JCB backhoe/loader) to do it until 1981…and it overdug every bloody thing, t(asks to an over exuberant operator…so caused a whole load of extra work…!! Give me a spade and shovel any day…

@@stun9771 very true Stu 🧱👍🏽

Thanks buddy 🧱👍🏽

@@SteveAndAlexBuild No problem pal 👍🏻

Definitely Eddie ! It’s scorchino in Paris right now 🥵🥵😆🧱👍🏽

Not good 😲🧱👍🏽

@@SteveAndAlexBuild Expensive, took 3 hours with a sledge and jack hammers, to remove part of floor and one wall and half a year in the courts

@@freepress8451 jeez that’s bad 😳🧱👍🏽

@@SteveAndAlexBuild It is what it is, surveyor missed it

@@freepress8451 . 😬🧱👍🏽

😆🧱👍🏼😉

Cheers Robert 🧱👍🏽

Electricity cables , piping are the main casualties lol … hand digging it is ;) cheers guys

Al did well for a first timer Jay 🤙🏾🤙🏾. Yes that’s our first footing that we have had to charge extra . Not pleasant for anyone involved but necessary 😬🧱👍🏽

😏

It certainly was David 🥵🧱👍🏽

Jeez , big job !!! 😬🧱👍🏽

Thanks very much pal 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽

Couldn’t resist the fly through 😆. We will keep practicing with the diggers 😁🧱👍🏼

The dozer blade is really a backfill blade. If the digger was oriented so that blade was in the rear it could have been used to lift and stabilize the machine when the bank caved. Could have narrowed the tracks and driven out, no help needed.

@@jd3497 No It couldn’t 🧱👍🏼

🧱👍🏽

We went down to the same depth as the extension on the left 🧱👍🏽

😆🧱👍🏽

Cheers John 🧱👍🏽

We did 😆😆🧱👍🏽

😏👌🏼🧱👍🏽

Yeah gutted , tiny bit of clay and sod and the whole load has to go to land fill 🫣😭😭🧱👍🏼

💦💦💧💧🌬🌬☔️😁🧱👍🏽

Thanks Darren 🧱👍🏽

Cheers Philip 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽

Hi David there is no average price I’m afraid 🧱👍🏽

In Harrogate Yorkshire no change out of 30k for a full job.

@@paullindsay4798 🧱👍🏽

Probably about 4 days 🥵👍🏽🧱

Yeah forget to retract them 😩🧱👍🏽

🧱👍🏽

Youll get used to digger in time

@@user-lc7xb5ch5t yea practice makes adequate 😆🧱👍🏽

We thought we were in an episode too 😵‍💫😆🧱👍🏼

It was a semi quick hitch so not so bad 🧱👍🏽

Yeah, I see you there with the bar. Thats the problem with doing these rear extensions. I don't think for the last 10 foundations I've been able to fit anything other than one of those poxy things. Better than hand jive though 😄

@@chriscollins1704 . Definitely 😉🧱👍🏽

Cheers buddy , it’s currently 2.51 am , heading to the airport soon for a weekend at Disneyland Paris 😏🧱👍🏽

Cheers Justin , we missed Jason , ha normally drives for us 🥺😆🧱👍🏽

@@SteveAndAlexBuild Just do it yourself Steve you dont need Jason with all due respect. You lads can do it and the more you do it the more confident you will get .just gotta work smart with the machines make the most out of them as they aint cheap. Here on day 3 its the same price for a weeks hire so we usually go for the week aint much difference. Can bring mot ,sand and any back fill round ready so no manual digging. Its cheaper in the long round quicker and easier on the back just got to be smart and use the full week as much as you can .Also we always give the client a heads up that they may need a contingency in the budget whilst in the ground .you never no if you need to dig deaper and then more concrete etc .can cost thousands more so better that its not a shock and you explain all this before a shovel breaks ground. Ive learnt all this so hope it helps .if you ever want a chat about any of this id be happy for you to ring me Steve .we all learn off each other i no you could teach me loads .Again if i can help if you need it let me no be nice to no i can drop you a call for any stuff you can help me with mate ? 👍🧱🧱👊🙂

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping 😁🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping Novice question... how can you use the digger to 'bring' the MOT, Sand etc? Drag it ? Lift it?

@@garyharrisonuk nar not with that size digger
