Graveyards

[Stephen Blair]

still seems wrong i guess, but hey some folk think cutting down trees is sacrilidge but i do it every day, and it doesnt really surprise me about mozza's story, any time folk get used to a job then its just another job, i have heard of a few nasty tales from my mate who did some trees in graveyard about the guys that worked there and what they were doing for a laugh:thumbdown:

Priced a graveyard job this morning and came across this, makes you want to know whats underneath it

 

I once did a graveyard reclamation job where we had to lift all the stones and cover the skeletons with compost then topsoil, we did hundreds. It was a solicitor and his wife that were making it into a lawn.

 

She came out with a tray of teas, walking across to where we were she dissappeared up to her armpits when the ground gave way. She looked down and was stood on a skeleton, she freaked out big style, moved house not long after, just thought I'd share some more useless info with you.

 

Bless her though, she kept hold of the tray full of teas

Thats who I gave my quote to

[Mike Hill]

I worked in a Grave yard in London for a few weeks,they were turning it into a woodland.We were told not to worry too much about breaking any headstones as the graves were derelict.When we tried to move some headstones they would snap or fall apart,some seemed to be made from a kind of Cement.

 

We ended up felling most of the Stems after stripping them as we would destroy as many from the impact as we would by trying to move them out of the way.

 

Didn't feel great the first couple of times,but we all got over it.
