  • Another tight wee job

    Breaking out a garage floor under a house today, and then reducing the floor level by about 300 - 600 mm .. very confined using a Kubota K008 and a Thwaites high tip dumper. The hammer was a Furakawa HB2G .. its a bit of a lightweight compared to my preferred hammers which are the Rammer 'S' series, no longer made unfortunately .... but those guys were built like brick shit houses with the performance to match

    My client today was http://www.mcclymonthomeimprovements.co.uk/

          Wow looks like underground mining to gas yourself on diesel exhaust I'm sure you can rent a high powered electric fan for a job like that...provided there's room for it.
