powerrabbit Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 mmmm this could be intresting, are they going to try and find your bathroom tim?? outside toilet thats grown over? know what you dartmoor types are like afterall ;D ;D ;D No Sean. outside bog went years ago, Mother used to complain in the winter coming back indoors with the seat stuck to her a$$ . Don't have a bathroom either, a shower room. On the other matter I mentioned they are doing an investigation/dig just out the road from me and all the stuff I have collected/picked up over the years is very revalent to it. It's going to be very interesting being involved with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I've been busy on Hattie all week... and I've had Lumpy working around my house for the last 3 days.. digging out my old patio and laying 8t of track ballast in readiness for Mrs F's new Indian Sandstone patio - I'm glad I have access to labour, haulage and aggregates at quarry prices... all I have to pay for is the slabs and three days labour to get it laid. Borrowed my mates whacker as well... lovely piece of kit - I feel one of those coming on to my hire fleet actually I've also now got a queue for plastic baling in the next few days.. topsoil and compost deliveries.. if this keeps up I can see me needing a new tractor .. how awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leakeyvale Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Rediscovering my rose garden. Over the years it disappeared under "lawn" better described as couch, creeping buttercup and bindweed. The bindweed roots go down to Australia and leaving even a tiny bit means it will reappear at warp speed. Still I have managed to clear a bin-full of the stuff and my rosebed now has dimensions! I, meanwhile, have serious back-ache! :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Done a few bits to the combine which we didn't get chance to do before the barley. All set up for oilseed rape now, have 50ac to cut which will come on this week if the weather breaks for us and then wheat soon after. Then help to inject a load of calves at a farm which have a high temperature and a bad case of the squirts. Back to the yard to finish putting back the repaired seed flaps in the Vicon airdrill. Pesky mice been chewing them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
