smithy Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Some good friends of mine and the wife's have a pieces of land just down the road from mine which they have got permission on to put up a log cabin type of property which they are going to live in so I took my mini-digger and dumper down there to dig out where they have to put down a slab of concrete for it to sit on 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Dug out this little base and concreted it so the green box can sit on it to house the electrics . The box has only got to hold a meter and trip but that is what the electric board said they must have it is 4 times bigger than really needed and cost £1000 only made of fiberglass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Was on standby with a tractor last week as this was delivered to the site as are friends are giving up where they are renting at the moment and going to live on site as they are about 1hr drive away at moment and can get on with all the other things that need doing around the site in the evenings ,had to block the road for about 30min while we unloaded it most drivers in the queue were ok but a couple had a few words to say 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opposite is the land that used to belong to moulsham hall which was sold when the racecourse was built, it now stands idle and is reverting to scrub...shocking really.

Seems to happen quite a bit these days. I knew you were around that area somewhere but couldn't remember where. I'm doing more work now for the training group that covers your area so never know when I might be in the area again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
