To be fair we had a full day sorting the drainage in the neighbors garden Bolder clay so the 3 tone digger I borrowed wasn’t man enough to dig right down So my maté reluctantly leant me his almost new 5 tonner

You’ve forgotten spoil We had three grabs 250 plus vat and 20 tone of pipe bedding 700 Diesels and extra days for digger hire Also you need to use a semi dry curb mix

Everything except putting some paving back and turf Which the neighbors did themselves

Just a mate and me 3 days 9 pop

I can’t rember who asked for pictures But here’s some that I’m doing

I’ve installed one for our neighbor and the material came to £5700 including vat Labour £2000
