Too hot for this shit

Sod that today - it was hot enough walking up and down sidings earlier but, at least there was a little wind.

 

I'd be tempted to knock that on the head for the day and come back early tomorrow morning to get more done.

Gabion’s turned up, fu*king flat pack and with no wire coils to put them together just rolls of high tensile wire, it’s going to take me a day to put them together, he got them like this because they were cheaper, by the time he’s paid me to put them together it would of been cheaper to get the wire coils that you put in with a drill, some people are idiots and the more I do this type of stuff the more idiots I’m finding

Plenty of hares about this year 

[Stavross 15,350]

First one in, only about another 9 to do

[Stavross 15,350]

First 5 in and filled by hand, I managed to get him to go and get the proper coils to fix them together so I can put a cage together now in 5 minutes instead of 45, 4 more to go on top tomorrow then maybe make a 45 degree one to finish the end, it’s a bit to hot to be doing this and is supposed to be hotter tomorrow

Getting there, ran out of the pebbles to face it with so will have to wait until Monday to be finished

[Ken's Deputy 4,459]

Those pebbles look quite nice, Stav'. Shame about the demarcation lines. What happens there?

[Stavross 15,350]

Do you mean the way they don’t look straight in the picture? They are, they are wired together, must of been how I took the picture 

[gnipper 6,426]

Would there be a way of attaching pebbles over the thicker wires to hide them a bit?

[Stavross 15,350]

These gabion’s are what they put in river banks, meter cubes, when you join them with the coils it gives you a seem of between 25/30mm, you can get bigger baskets that would give you fewer seems but this is what they wanted, it will be planted up with trailing plants and heathers in the future so it will look like one stoney wall ( some grand designs sh*t )
