I initially visited these
customers back in March for a consultation, works were developed and booked for
early October. These works include a modified drive developed from the initial
plan showed here, plus considerable relaying of york flagstones in the rear. Works
were due to start around 6th Oct but have been delayed a few days due to difficulties
elsewhere. Hopefully we can get started this Friday 10th.The parking area will
be modified once we are on site... |
very rough initial drawing! |
We were delayed starting due to unforseen complications on our last works. We did meet up with the customers on Friday, made a start taking up the slabs on Monday 13th, but did not really get going till Tuesday. Our mini digger arrived Tuesday pm as we discovered the ground rather hard!
