A 4 day week after the Bank Holiday, not saying we are busy but it feels like “did we have a bank holiday? “Surely that was last month”!!
Boss man got the big toys out to go moling over the recently drained land we finished last week near Evesham.
The electric cable ducting works have morphed into a completely different “whilst you are on site” kind of a job! Luckily our man on site is taking it all in his stride. Reminds me a little of the landfill days.
The works in Gloucester, which have been on hold due to it being a tad damp, are finally back underway. Subsoil and topsoil are being heaved in under the watchful eye of the main man. The part we managed to get finished before having to pulls off site is looking better than we expected too.
We had a client ask us to install a 160mm single wall pipe from a wet spot, across his field, pick up an old clay pipe which was moving water from a spring and put in a new head wall. The lads hit the ground running bush, bang wallop, in, done sorted, off site. For the oldest among us along with “new dad, no sleep” they did well.
An interesting call came in yesterday, a chap who we have worked for before called to say “We have just got the crop off the field, need it drained . . . next week”!! As I said last week the drainage season is upon us and we at DW Clark like to be flexible and help out where we can, but this is going to test even us.
Had a supplier visit me today, now I am not really a “see a rep” kind of chap, but visits like this I don’t mind. Abandoned vehicle in the middle of the yard, ran in the office, dropped of a couple of fittings, 30 seconds of “how are things” followed by “got to go otherwise I won’t be back in time for chips” Got to love Pipetek from Bidford on Avon
Thanks again for another hard week lads, have a super weekend and we will see you all Monday, bright eyed and bushy tailed

Oh, and while I wasn't looking this crept in
Theres been a thief about
Boil's your blood when some sneaky beggar has been stealing.
Day after day it has gone on and Ive spent the last few days surveying the situation all to no avail, until this afternoon, when I caught the perpetrator in the act, to my suprise they were older than I expected and really ought to know better.
She was put in a cell and received some preventative measures and a bloody good talking too.
Shes now been released on bail

Had a bit of rain on the site today but I still don't think one of these signs is suitable....
Do you mind me asking are you wanting the hole or the stone?

Seeing that one lifting reminds me of the one down the road.....the owners brother was sent out to do a job with it & on the way back met a tractor & trailer harvester flashing the lights & waving. He wondered who he was waving at as he didn't recognize him, next thing there was a loud bang, he had forgot to put tthe jack leg back in & wrote off the harvester.
Drilled the beans today, thinking it may have been a waste of time, gone from to wet to drill to a desert in a week, will need a good soaking now to get them started [emoji849]
Anyone want to buy a good Freeflow ? Thinking about selling it for a 6m ?

Did you take the wheel off, or did you lose it completely, was it at high speed ?Hmm, pretty sure there should be another wheel here, hurrah for twin axle trailers, was about 2 minutes from cheales in Essex with 460kg of cull sows on board....
Love the drill and will struggle to find another in as good condition, just a bit to small at 4m for the tractor, hence thinking about a 6m
