What did you do lately?

[Bigsidavies]

Cheaper than going to local tip!

My local tip no longer take ‘hardcore’. We had a strange exchange when I tried to throw 3 concrete blocks into the ‘general waste’ container.
Jobsworth ’you can’t put hardcore in there’
Me ‘it’s not hardcore it’s complete concrete blocks’
Jobsworth ‘it’s hardcore’
Me ‘order a ton of hardcore and see how many concrete blocks they send you’
Anyway, I ended up breaking them up at home into ‘hardcore’ and putting them in the wheelie bin.
Utter madness.

I have the same with a blown double glazing unit.....they want to charge me for it as building materials. I'll smash it in a binbag and put it in the bin. Jobsworth council

Exactly, I just turn everything into small pieces and stick it in the bottom of the black bin over a few weeks, easy does it

I take it you're not referring to the council workers?

I put no end of crap into our general waste bin because of these rules!!!

Bizarrely, where I live, the county council charge for certain things (rubble, glazing units etc) and you need a free permit for paint which has to be applied for in advance and limits amounts per annum, however, the city council centre which is 3 miles further has no charges / permits required for these items.

Not difficult to work the system!

You’ve seen my garage right?

 

[Bav]

You’ve seen my garage right?

Oh yes - just a tad too tidy

This, last week, awaiting paint from the client, and the traditional leads to arrive.

Chris,

I look at all of your work with awe and admiration and would love to have a piece like those above in the garden. Out of interest would you be able to share ball park figures on cost of one of the seats above. I understand it may be commercially sensitive and you may not want to divulge.

Keep updating the thread with pictures!!

Regards
Ian

Hi Ian
Thanks buddy
They are as you say commercial sensitive.
I will drop you a pm with a guide

Built this from scratch - done everything myself apart from the concrete base.
Half seating area, half shed with the door round the side.



Then used the left over cladding to do the back of the garage/utility.

I hope your chair is fully-compliant - a 5-caster swivel with arms and adjustable height/back support!
