ToughButterCup Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 One way of annoying a newbie digger driver is to give her a digger and tell her to dig a hole in Lancashire: more accurately the Fylde coast. This what you get: A bucket full of clay - that won't come out of the bucket. Try as I might -swearing-shovelling-crowbarring- Nadda. Nichts. Rien. It sits there looking at you. And then you ask on BuildHub how to sort this problem out and you buy one of these bad boys (bad people) A Clay Spade Hallelujah! This happens... And then when you've stopped swearing and start grinning, a little while later you get to find water..... Out comes the magnet and its ................. CAST IRON. Phhhheeeeeww. I was told by those locals who 'know' that the pipe is asbestos. The man from the Water Board came out, looked at it, sucked his teeth, tapped it, got his ray gun out, zapped it, sucked his dentures some more and said. "Tha's dun me job fer me maaaate. Aye, 'appen, it's awreet is 'at. Pilin', it'll be nay borra, 'appen" and promptly left. With the back doors of his van open and all his tools cascading out onto the road. I nearly wet myself with a mixture of relief and laughter Well, that's that one sorted. Next: piling mat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Construction Channel Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 At least when you use german I can use google, This norther talk is just getting silly, Nice to see its still in tact though, also a very rare sight to see the light on a digger arm still attached and working 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToughButterCup Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 I was thinking (after a few beers) of pimping it with LED floods.... I strapped a couple of rechargeable LED floods to the boom: boy what a difference! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
