Shed pad begins!

Well, after three trips to the red hill tip I finally got the site works men in to make a pad for our new shed. I must have dug a ton of heavy metal scrap out of the yard. It seems that a previous owner had been invloved in the trucking industry and has left most of it behind. I also pulled down one small shed with my patrol and cut the other main shed in half to make way for the new pad. This was much fun, and was enjoyed by my friendly neighbour almost as much as me. Anyways it was when the Bob Cat man came to smash up an existing one car pad that we ran into trouble.

The start....


We all assumed that the pad would be a relatively thin one and be easy for him to break up with his large bobcat. Well, were we wrong! It turned out to be over 750mm thick in places and nowhere was thinner than 260mm AND it was reinforced!! This pad was made to park a tank! We had to get a rock breaker in for four hours and it was too much for his machine it was broken when he left! But we got done what we needed and the Bobcat man was able to push the remaining concrete mountains around for the outline of the pad.


The end of the day...


He will return tomorrow and finsh the pad with more fill and sand. I will post a short video of the action and some pics....
