Rain!!!

[Chris Sheppard]

Not so much the rain but how wet the ground is - we've not been getting a right lot done these last few weeks.

 

Finally getting caught up with jobs at home though; got boiler out today and should get acrow's in ready for knocking wall down shortly

It's getting silly now isn't it?[ATTACH]147102[/ATTACH][ATTACH]147103[/ATTACH]

 

This is what happens when you sweep bits of brash down the drain haha

Is it raining, still dry here. I love Suffolk

 

Indeed! Been some fine weather today, t-shirt all day

[IanW]

getting a bit fed up of it now to be honest, working in the rain, cold and wind soon wears thin as it just makes life harder

Just re-arranging jobs accordingly.

Stump-grinding today (well, mud grinding).

We did an emergency take-down on Christmas eve, haven't been able to clear the debris yet as the lawn is still under water and we'd wreck it trampling over it.

Had a pretty scary day using tractor and post driver on a VERY steep clay hillside today, lost control of it in a pretty spectacular fashion,in just slid twenty meters down the hill totally uncontrollably despite being in gear,i ended up jumping out the cab and throwing the dog out at the same time, fortunately because it was still in gear when it eventually regained traction it was had turned 180 degrees and started driving back up the hill again, so I managed to get back in and regain control of sorts.what made it worse was the drop at the bottom of the hill into a river, would have been game over if it had gone in there!

Note to self - don't work on steep clay fields when the ground is saturated, basically an ice rink with the turves acting as skids!

Been lucky here in Notts, not really had a wet day this year. Feel for you guys down south though.

I use a boat when it gets too deep.

We didn't sweep any brash in. We handballed 3 cube of cord in after lifting the drain cover....

No, I know the customer. That floods every time it rains heavily, and has done for months. Council/Highways/Water co. all blaming each other. At one point we recovered two bar covers that were floating away down the alley.

 

Lucky escape with the tractor Matthew!
