ally mac Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I spent yesterday shifting soil and getting ready to build a new loft. Next stage was to shift a pile of hardcore for the base which would probably have meant hiring a dumper and messing about. Came home today though and found a wee rock fall across the track beside where lofts going. Simple case of sitting on road and lifting from one side to the other. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
