Graham's Work

They take anything down this way. Last year a farmer was putting in perferated land drain. He backfilled as he went, leaving a gap where the joiners were. Came back in the morning and the pikey's had pulled all the joiners out and had them away. Also loaded up a tonne of sand by hand which was in a heap by the gateway!!

it is all the ancillary stuff that takes the time sean still a long way to go with both units the first one still running generator for electric a big volvo penta boat engine i belive he is having dispute with electric he wants to dig trench up across feilds and let them do connection but they want to do the lot and it is costing to much that way bit political i think with mac nicholass as well ;)

thats unusall, we(bt) and most leccy boards will allow a farmer to lay his own cable or duct, infact its usally cheaper that way,our contractors charge 2500 quid to build a box, 1.2 m x .7m by 1.5 m deep, ripp off really, and duct is per m per duct, 75 quid in soft, ie soil / grass, 175 quid per m in roadway
