epsilonGreedy Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I ran out of white line marking paint on the final wall. When the JCB driver turned up he tossed me a can of his standard colour, no prize for guessing which colour he prefers. I found white is ok but yellow is wrong for grass. The JCB driver stopped a few times mid job to over paint my yellow lines in red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan52 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 A bag of finish is just as good. Just sprinkle it along the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Wise Owl my semi retired building advisor said in the old days they sprinkled some lime along the dig line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I stripped the top soil (grass had long gone) and piled it up before marking out the foundation trenches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would appear to be the standard process. In my case there is hardly any appreciable gradient across the footings which allowed the dig to skip the strip step. Total digs costs were £650 including the garage which I think was a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, as in the PM transgressing her own Brexit lines in the sand. I remember those pre selfbuild days when I had time to follow the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
