    Ive seen one of them up in london but round here they are normally 4,6 or 8m.unless its a straight pour into a footing I nearly always use a volumetric these days as its less of a rush,they're so much cleaner as you dont end up with a prick of a drive overload ling barrows because they wanna be off in 5mins.A lot of our jobs we do on gas sites we still do a lot of knocking up by hand though as sometimes it too much agro to keep getting permits for lorries to keep coming on site.

    Not really putting people in their place by knowing how to work out how much concrete a base will take.I reckon I could teach my 9 year old the formula to work that out in in about 10mins

    Every plummer Ive personally seen were f***ing useless things that were more interested in fighting than working

    Are you sure someone hadn't driven a lorry across it???At least somebody has had actual experience of what I was trying to explain.

    This estate is only a couple of years old and its f***ing shocking.Theres sections of roads thst have dropped so muck the manholes are sticking 2" up out of them and you can see the bottoms of the kerbs and the concrete they were laid on.Theres people stuck there in houses they cant even get insurance on or sell.Garden walls that have inch cracks every every few metres where the footing have broke their backs.Mad thing is my pal built a little chalet bungalow on the opposite side of the main road from this estate about 15years back and after digging a couple of trial holes was made to pile a r

    No mate.Clay is probably the worst ground going to build on as it shrinks in the summer and then swells when wet.Theres a housing estate built near me a couple of years back in an are thats all clay.Theres parts where the paths and roads have broken up all over the place.Theres houses on there that have cracked all the way from the footing to the roof plate.If you're in Kent Id happily help you out mate.Anywhere else I cant help as I cant leave this beautiful covid hotspot I live in???

    Let me guess.Youd recommend knocking it up 10 and 1 to save a couple of quid on cement too

    Reinforcing mesh.Any builders merchants should stock it.You could get away without it but for the few quid it costs for a 10x6 ft sheet I always chuck it in to be on the safe side especially in ground thats heavy clay which is prone to heaving and shrinking with the weather

    So have I as Im a groundworker for a living and Ive seen concrete crack because of ground movement especially if the ground has a lot of clay.A sheet of mesh is 16/20 quid.Hardley gunna break the bank

    Do it right do it once.

    4" thick will be fine as long as you chuck some mesh in it.if you can get 6"of hardcore whacked down under it all the better.Price for the concrete will depend obviously on size of base,Wether you're getting it readymixed or knocking it up yourself.If you are knocking up are you buying bulk bags of ballast from a builders merchant or loose from a quarry etc

    The whole program was exactly what I expected.Loads of accusations with no real evidence to back anything up.Made me laugh when he apparently went up to MTKs main man in America's house and questioned him for 15mins but didn't get anything on tape.Just typical panorama shit journalism.

    If he wasnt ripping his fighters off they might not have f**ked off.Hes just settled out of court with Frampton after loads of emails were retrieved which were apparently deleted from his computers.Frampton said in an interview that he was very happy with the settlement.

    ???I was thinking just the same.

    Old Barry's a bit sore ??
  16. downsouth
    Maybe so but I wouldn't want to convict a man on the word of The Sun or Panorama.Or the old Bill for that matter ???
  17. downsouth
    Yeah thats him.From what I've read he's never actually been found guilty of anything.
  18. downsouth
    A lot of big fights only seem to be getting made because of MTK and a lot of fighters seem to be very happy to be signed to them and the deals/purses they are getting because of them.

    I hope it does happen.If anyone has a chance of beating Canelo its Billy Joe as he has the best skillset and boxing brain of anybody at that weight.The main problem is if the fight is in America its gunna be near on impossible to get a win over Canelo unless Billy knocks him out.

    Decent stuff dont even exist over here mate its all smashed to f**k with synthetic shit long before it even gets here.Anything that even resembles a bit of flakey stuff is £80/£100 a G round here so id hate to think what 3 for £100 must be like.
