DeanoFromTheDock Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Good afternoon all, well after 6 months of planning and falling out with neighbours... We are nearly there, officers recommendation has come back approved and its in council next Tuesday. This is is my first and hopefully last self build.. So any advice and help will be much appreciated.. Muck away way is going to be the hardest part of the project around about 7/800 ton. Would like to hear from anyone that's been up the they're neck in it.. i pi hope you don't mind me firing some questions all your way Deano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Jones Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 thats a lot of muck away, bearing in mind bulkiing could be looking at 80 x 8 wheeler loads. Try and find a local farmer and make friends!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanoFromTheDock Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 I’m trying my hardest at the moment to spread the love or muck whatever you wish to call it.. I’ve been quoted around £100 a load 18/20 ton.. it’s not the easiest of build a fair size retaining wall also... well aslong as I ain’t tripped up in council next week.. it’s taken 6months to get this far planning has been a nightmare, down to one neighbour who keeps putting hurdles in the way. im also looking for a small machine about 1:5-2 ton plus a small dumper 1-1;5ton.. any ideas or auctions?

Jilly Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Hello! It looks to be a great design. I'm swamped with clay spoil too at the moment! Try to keep the neighbour on side if you can, now you've got the planning. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToughButterCup Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 In relation to the neighbours issue: 4 years after open hostility from all our neighbours, the issue, such as it was, has gone away . It's not all smiles, but normal civility has broken out. Things will settle down. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
