Builder needing advice after damaging temporary supply to new build!

[shaun rosier]

RESULT!!!!

The company backed down today and are now only charging for the damage we did to the supply cable! They didn't admit fault of course but said they are dropping all the overhead cable charges!

Can I say a big thanks to all you guys who obviously know your stuff as we used your technical explanations in our replies to the company which I'm sure made them think twice about taking it further!!

Thanks again and if anyone needs building advice I'm happy to return the favour!

Stock photo but we used to get them like this regular.

Amazing really when you think of what the ancients done with it.
We got close to a village and had to restrict the amount of blasting and as bad luck would have it we hit limestone . The blasting would only split it. We had Caterpillar D9 dozers in with with single ripper picks fitted ; they hardly looked at it.

seen a video of a pensioner on youtube splitting huge boulders with just a cold chisel and bolster

seen guys struggle to drill through concrete slabs without splitting it! they just cant resist using hammer mode even though its soft like butter to just drill through

does amaze me how civilizations with no heavy transport could move such stones

heres the vid of the old bloke

I worked with an old stone mason that could do that . He worked at a famous quarry in Northumberland .
He used to hue the winstone from the solid and hand cut the sets for the old cobbled streets . He was amazing to watch.

the romans didnt get to cobble much of the roads here, if only the romans knew about north sea oil, i doubt they would have built the wall
