  3. Yes mate, great to know you're back earning bud!!

    Ive done a few SIPS builds and the only thing you've got to hope for is the bricky doesn't have a bad day or it isn't a Friday job on the base block course but sounds like you guys are using pegs on this job.

  4. thanks bud.
    the hardest bit at the min is finding accommodation. we had a flat lined up on friday through holiday lets and after booking it friday they got back this morning saying its not happening. why still advertise it if you aint prepared to let it out? its crazy.
     
  5. chiz,Is this a silly idea or just not practical with tools etc.:thinkingface:

  6. cheers stu.
    yeah, this company im stating with used to get the teams to do the footings themselves but now have a company that goes in, in advance and does screw piles. the difference in price to me is about 1500 quid but im happy for someone else to do that side, as if that's all they do (which it is) they are most likely way more efficient at it than i would be.
     
  7. not silly at all mate and something we have looked into a lil bit. i will look into it further should we get desperate for sure.
    at the min the office lady has found us digs but its not ideal. its a 1 bed apartment on the 5th floor. i know beggars cant be choosers and all that but we have a van load of tools so ideally would like to be somewhere a lil more suited... that said, i will take the gamble and a bed is a bed!

  8. And if you ask the lady in reception,she just might have a little cupboard to accommodate your tool.;)

  9. ive not met her yet but that question might pop up, amongst other things, should she be cute.
     
  10. Sounds like it's going to be a great gig away with the lads & you get paid on top as well.:upyeah:
     
  11. errr... possibly not. its going to be work with a mate who is a complete psycho and now we have to share a room. ive worked away with this chap many times in many countries. one thing we have worked out is that we shouldn't be sharing a room at all. ever.
     
  12. :weary_face:
     
  13. hopefully its not that painful! or at best, its not me pulling that face!!!
     
  14. You lived to tell the tale so far,just grin and bear it for the experience.
     
  15. just bite the pillow and shut up? lol.. thats what i tell him.
