Mungler Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 What's access like? Could you have got a mini digger round the back and a grab lorry in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Access is poor to say the least. The skip lorry can just about get down the road, and the patio is stepped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 What's access like? Could you have got a mini digger round the back and a grab lorry in? yup probably could have done but it would have needed to be the extra skinny type and would have needed boards to get it in, we got this one in down a number of steps and through two doorways through the house. Not simple but if I'd have had a weeks digging to do i'd have found a way!! That said digger plus a grab lorry round us for a weekend would have been £400 plus vat or there abouts and you'd have still had to barrow it out. What you really needed was a couple of polish blokes for a couple of days :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillaroo Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Sadly they seem quite friendly with strangers having a mutt thats the opposite can be a good thing... ...except when I was stumbling around drunk trying to sneak in quietly from the pub in the early hours a few weeks ago and my better half had left the spaniel, collie and terrier outside. All 3 came flying round the side of the house at me, were after blood and would have got it had I not yelled "GET IN YOUR BL@@DY BEDS!!!!" at them and woken up half the street! A thief wouldn't stand a chance - collie at the throat, spaniel half way down and a terrier hanging off your ankles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj85 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 What's he like on a driven shoot day ? ha, doubt there would be much of a bird left if he bothered to retrieve it. ... although im sure he would be capable of taking down a deer (i know highly illegal) they were used to hunt big game in japan.

darren m Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 wow good job where is the run part , explain the lay out the bricks on the inside - what have you used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 It's still very much work in progress There is going to be a full size door, with a pop hole in the middle, and a 2nd pop hole where the white bottle is currently placed. From the red bricks forward up to the brick wall in the bottom right of the photo will be their run. A galvanised pannel with door will be installed infront of this area.

al4x Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) he means laid like this excuse the photo its the only one I had with them laid like it rather than like this, and the answer is strength as its holding back a lot of soil.
