Anybody want a couple of days (hard) work?
Discussion
As some of you might know I'm in the process of moving house at the moment. I now have a moving date and there are a couple of jobs that I'm in need of some help with! They aren't fun jobs, but I'm happy to feed / water and pay for a days hard labour!!
Job 1 is digging out a pond in the new place in Twyford (told you they were fun). It's on this Sunday as it's the only day I have that I can it, so come hell or high water, I need to get the hole dug!
Job 2 is actually helping me move house. All the stuff should be packed away so it's just a simple case of lugging stuff around. This is on Friday 21st.
It's annoying as we've had to move so fast with the house move that friends and family aren't able to get the time off to help me. (I've been moving 2 days holiday back and forward on a weekly basis to try and get them on the moving day)
So if you fancy it drop me a line!

You can actually get a 0.8 ton mini-digger which is able to narrow it's own track down to 700mm and therefore fit through a standard domestic doorway. If there is side access to the back of the house one of these would fit i'm sure.
If you can get a wheelbarrow down there you should be able to get a mini-digger down there.

These people can help with the mini-digger (i've hired these mini diggers from them twice before):

The trouble is, the house is a terrace town house and the path running along the back of the garden is overgrown.
So the plan was to go through the house with a wheel barrow, to add to the fun, there is a kink in the middle of the main thoroughfare (which is something in time I will get rid of, but not just yet).
So I can't see a mini digger working, unless I clear out the back path, which I won't be able to do in time for Sunday

I'd be very happy to volunteer as a digger driver but unfortunately i will be doing Reading to Loch Lomond on Sunday...
Crap! That's one hell of a drive. I've done Ullapool to Langley in a day (and we took the scenic route between Ullapool and Glasgow) and that was hard work.However, I'd rather be doing that then digging a bloody great hole...

Mark I used to operate minidiggers so if you need a driver happily oblige for you also H is texting you 
I would hope that if I pay for a digger I get to play in the digger!!

Would a heavy duty petrol strimmer clear the back passage (oh, that reads so wrong!)?
It might do it. I'm going to have a look tonight to assess the mess.Gassing Station | Thames Valley & Surrey | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
