I would say you are a lazy fool who deserved a broken wall to repay you for your effort.

Anyway, to answer your question, looks like a wall in poor state of repair to me, however it is always difficult to persuade the customer of this after the fact.

 

What did you do?

 

Bloke did'nt care he said cement had been cracked for ages and his mate was going to rebuild it soon anyway, but I was still surprised that such a small ammount of pressure hitting the ground could make the wall explode. (ground was quite soft though)

you probably loosened it dragging the brash over the wall. bit of sawdust, bit of moss off the grass. all fixed. proper job

Yeah in hindsight is was lazy, should have seen the wall was in a poor state. But I did not feel like I was taking much of chance as the chunk was going to land so far from wall and thought all the multi-stem limbs would break the fall. If honest I was in a rush to get finished as I had another job to get done before sundown.

ha ha, I delivered two bags of logs to a guy on the edge of the moors, no traffic for two days, no logs. so doing him a favour I battled through and got the logs to him, I reverse up a long drive that was a total white out and hit a wall under a snow drift.

 

He went ballistic, so I have to go back and spend 1/2 a day rebuilding this wall which is also a 24 mile round trip.

 

thought you never damaged anything:001_tongue:
