Drooling here at the sight of it...........................

Hahaha! Should've been there Stock. Would have you drooling a new flood from all the firewood the trees we removed further down the creek would supply!

Sorry bout the pixelating btw, not allowed to show any pics public without client, contractor and sub contractors approval for every damn picture.. too much of a hassle

It's a kubota 8 tonner, rental👍good machine, quick but kinda weak sadly.. suspecting it's not delivering full power, being a rental.
Asked for a 14 ton for the masonry, but had to settle with that one.. gonna get intresting with the largest block.. 50x50x200 cm of granite equals about 1.5 ton. Could barely hang on to it right in front of the blade Wouldnt be a problem if it wasnt the one going furthest away x) I'll shoot some more pics on monday we'r using red granite for the new walls

Well, could be tidier if I was allowed to touch up the old wall there, but the road running over will collapse if I do :/ no one is paying for that, so not my problem

Btw, is there any way to make the thread or certain images/posts visible to member only? Got som intresting things coming up I'd like to share, but it's a dead give away of who where and when x) (not allowed by employer)

Design lift for that machine is barely a tonne .. so you asking a bit much there .. the fact it does it, shows Kubota's design resilience over what they quote .. so it is a 'good machine'

Yes you have to be a senior poster to access that area .. I'll see if I can swing it with the management

I'll take your word for it! If that's the case, I'm probably over estimating the weight of granite?? It's supposed to be of the most dense type wich i think is around 2.8t per cubic meters

Ah, I see! Many thanks but dont sweat too much over it! It's mostly bragging

Final pics from my last job in the division I've been in since I got into plant! "New" adventures starts tomorrow





Despite the water flowing, we decided to give it a try! Not too happy about the result, but it came out OK





Not nearly enough stones to work with, and all at random lengths (cheaper). But we thought what the heck, it's not like it's a castle or anything.. Not too pretty, but it does the job



Filling the cracks with concrete and tidying up remains, but that's someone elses worries

[v8druid]

now that's what you call 'bricks' need a good bloke on the trowel laying them eh .... gonna wanna be some sort of flow to shift them Boyo

Hehe, it was pretty frustrating to be honest.. The foreman said he could hear me screaming "14 tonnes for f**ks sake!!" In his barracks behind a house today (I asked for 14. Got 8)

I bet they made the 8's eyes water a bit ...... VA or mono boom?
Like taking a wooden spoon ..... to a knife fight

Lovely blocks though

Mono boom, but with king post. So not exactly a lifting machine Was nice for the reach tho, couldnt have had less of it..

Ye, the blocks where nice. Did learn that when making a "sharp" turn it pays off to have much shorter lengths. And we should've set the blocks first, then poured the concrete. Would've made a much straigther foundation, wich makes the next levels of blocks easier to set..
Things that pretty much says itself, but was never thought about
