fed up with mud? get yourself some sleepers

[Joy Yeomans]

Todays job - move the pile of soil after laying some concrete at Christmas, and the lorry came this afternoon bringing 100 railway sleepers - the lads are going to make a track and some chip bunkers - got to be better than the sea of mud weve had - Rohan and Tony taking turns in the digger as going cold, although Tony found how to warm his hands on the fordsons exhaust:thumbup:

Brilliant idea. I had a sea of mud too until recently when i struck a deal with a skip company who are based ust down the road......they bring me clean rubble for nowt- everyones a winner!!!I have just piled up the mud like you are doing and have put a couple of hundred tons down so far. Such a relief..

, well its hard to show the extend of the swamp that we call "the yard" this year its extended into the field, last years pics attached kept the swamp in check a bit, but nearly lost a wellie this afternoon taking pics

it looks like its just the top foot of glore thats the problem, a scraper is a good thing to keep the top of the sludge out of the way. I would love a nice level concrete yard. my little bit is ok because it hasnt rained in months up here and the frost is still in the ground. i can wear trainers around mine just now lol.

if anyone is interested plannings are good and you can get them for £60 an 8 wheeler load if your willing to meet the lorrys at the nearest motorway junction and guide them to your yard

although to get that cheap you usually have to take a fixed amount of loads at night
