I'd love to help but fear it's not something I should really be doing at present

Fat lot of good you are ATM.  

Indeed

[chrisgixer]

Although... It depends when a Marks project is on.

You might be lucky

spine not up to digging myself,   but i DO have a very good , very reasonable groundworks company in my pocket.....    if we had a whip round......  ? 

just had ground levelled, (far end down by 375mm ,   (8mx5m foundations dug, steelwork formed and concrete poured (350x450 ring beam and slab) and finished at the end of a 70 metre garden with restricted access......   all waste removed ,  soak away dug and refilled,  services conduit laid , and so on...

for a client ,   whole job in at under 5 grand.

they cover the whole country as they do groundworks for a number of major retailers, (like Iceland, and Sainsbury)

I'm in debt to MrDTM a number of times for various fixes over the years, so count me in 

[TheBoy]

I'm up for doing as much as my back will allow, so may have to slow down a bit as day goes on 

[Gaffers]

I am certainly up for this, I dont mind grafting with a shovel and Mark certainly deserves a little help back from us

He certainly does.

A chance to pay back some favours.

It will be hard work I expect, but the more people, the easier it will be I guess.

Calling Oof chain gang



...if its of use to him of course.

[scimmy_man]

too far for me,

but if you can get a wheelbarrow down the path, you can get a small micro digger, a powered dumper helps get the spoil out.

One thing though, would need fair bit of notice. Weekdays are not too bad, but weekend leave (if I'm working on day needed) can be an issue.

So as soon as a date is known, I'll check it/book it off.

Also, Curry afterwards?

Also, Curry afterwards? 

I'm sure we can find a curry house somewhere between Nottingham and Brakkers. In fact, the nearer home, the better, as I'm sure a Cobra or 3 will slip down nicely...

[Webby the Bear]

Count me in.

I'll keep an eye on the thread as, like tunnster, need a bit of notice but more than willing to help 

[dad1uk]

I would certainly be interested in helping - OOF rises to the challenge

[Webby the Bear]

ps, sundays i'm always free. saturdays i go to the saints so preferably a sunday to guarantee i can go.

The obvious solution is to re-site Mrs DTM's tumble drier and Mark's work bench to the side wall of the garage then demolish the garage end wall (TB can organise that) so that a mini digger and dumper can drive straight through into the back garden.

Nice one Matchless, that's got us all off the hook.
