A Bank Holiday weekend is almost upon us and personally I cannot wait. What a week! Phone ringing off the hook, sun bursting through, suppliers stacked out (what do you mean I can’t have it tomorrow ), Boss man all over looking at some really tasty jobs.

This week has been a good one though, water supplies repaired under the watchful eye of the clients Labrador, he is a cheeky fellow, even gives the camera a wink! We have started installing 180 metres of cable ducting out by Stratford upon Avon and the machine parking area coming on well. Foul and storm water pipes in and passed by building control out by Stratford, client is really happy.

We start back in Gloucester next week, finally able to get on the field we pulled off weeks ago due to the weather (and I was really trying my best not to mention the weather this week!!). Hopefully the team will polish that off quick as I can feel it in my water, the drainage season is in the starting blocks and waiting for the off. . . happy days ahead.

Thanks for a fantastic week lads, enjoy the Bank Holiday, the sun will have his hat on, as should all of us who are follicly challenged.
