HS.

need a bigger tractor mate?

Took ownership of the new business today, never seen a 65 year old Glaswegian cry before, all paperwork signed by 12, so was in the pub celebrating by 1, only problem with the mrs due in the next 3 weeks means I've got to stick to the pints of coke...

never knew horse's could play badminton to be honest....

plans have changed since i posted this afternoon, only able to get 2 shovels rather than 4 so a jcb js360 and a volvo ec460 are being brought in... disaster

been preparing the site for some "intense" crushing, going to have two crushers running, with 2 loading shovels feeding them and another two removing the crushed rubble into a fleet of adt's, got two js330's and the doosan as well as a small bomag roller for dealing with the stockpile, which once all crushings complete will contain just under 1 million tonnes of rubble... its going to be a big one

wait there's a radio 2...

Liebherr sales person phoned saying they had a cancelled order from another client and an ADT of the same spec, with all the same optional extras is being shipped to my yard on Wednesday rather than the end of June, guess ill have to make a bit of space around the yard

Radio 1is the best the rest are absolute &ish

It would certainly be cheaper with a mini digger, we've currently got two mini diggers up top with breakers, but its too dangerous removing the external walls with them so this remote controlled machine was bought as its able to be operated from a safe distance, got quite a bit of work linned up for it aswell, and have had a lot of interest from other demolition company's wanting to hire it, according to our calculations it should have paid its self off and earning money by September which is good

At least there's no way you can phone the wrong number I suppose

got this massive machine joining the doosan on tuesday, the price of one of these new is shocking, so we've gone for a used machine with just over 1000 hours on it, put it this way, i could buy 3 new ford fiestas for the mrs for the price we've paid for it,

bet you would love to see mine...

Couple more,

Boss has just sent some photos off my new yoke over

I'm hopeing to start a topic or blog type thing where I will be posting photos of the machines and jobs I'm working on, once intake ownership of the company in about 10 days time. Well today I've been out and about in the doosan (no photos yet) its the demolition of a multi storey derelect office block, takes two artics to transport the machine, 1 with the digger and another with its arm, unable to start taking Down the building with the digger just now as its 10 floors to high at the moment so its being knocked down by hand until we're able to use the machines, so I'm on crushing duties just now, brilliant machine as its technically two diggers in one, love it

Been operating the new doosan dx420, its quite a beast, tilting cab, extending undercarriage, a digging arm and a 3 piece 13m demolition boom, there's not been a permanent operator appointed yet, but I've had my liebherr taken off of me, so I'm currently excavatorless, so I can only hope I get away from my desk and get some hours put on the clock

Haha I wish...

The delivery of a new liebherr ADT has been delayed until the end of June rather than the middle of May,

My latest recruit, being trained in the new demolition spec doosan, climbing out the cab, and landing on his face... If you didn't laugh you would cry

Won these on eBay £14.99 including postage there's an identical set sitting at £21 with another 11 hours to go, think I got a good deal, will be the second set I've bought from bsb plant, very happy boy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310651163458?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

More pics, I'm planing on rebuilding the front loader as the buckets sits to far off the ground, it used to do this with the small wheels on it as well, need to get decals made, cabs getting sprayed black, and hopefully get a new front axel for it as the one that's on it has been damaged in a moment of rage

Well got home from bauma yesterday, went straight to the shed to start converting a britains 3cx to a 4cx, here is the progress so far

Now I know this is model related, but it did give me a bit of a laugh http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290900672035

Been setting up a few deals at bauma the last couple of days, made a couple of new contacts for future purchases, been a rather expensive couple of days, as, I missed my flight on Sunday, and my managers seems to want more or less every single optional extra in the new machines. Place is massive, easily get lost, shame about the weather, it's been rather rainy.

An Ifor Williams TT2515 Power tip trailer, with 8ft loading ramps, light protectors, extra lashing points. Well can't get a new micro excavator and tracked barrow without having anything to transport them both. Now got 5 Ifor Williams trailers, well ones a horse box which rarely gets used, but its still a trailer
