But I can't brush my Teeth !!!!

Spent a few hours on Monday pressure washing the JCB803 and it's buckets, as they'd left it in a bit of a mess, then darn me if they didn't send a gang over this morning to start the clear up ASSUMING they could use my digger.
Now if Clancy Docwra who are SE Waters contractors had rung up, said thanks for it's previous use, can we (at least) replace the diesel we've used, and if we agree term can we use it again I would have reluctantly agreed if they also agreed to clean it up when done. But to ASSUME without even contacting me got very short shrift :poke: :poke: :poke:
So some hours later they came back with a hired one and have started back filling the trenches.
:hammer: :hammer: The cheek of some people :hammer: :hammer:

Do you want me to say something to Chris about this? He works with Clancy Docwra a lot.
Regards, Matthew

Thanks Matthew but I think it's in hand. I had a phone call today from a very apologetic S E Water liaison woman who says she's going to fire rockets in the appropriate direction. After all SE Water are the Client and Clancy Docwra the Contractor. There is supposedly a Clancy Docwra manager coming to see me tomorrow so we'll see how that goes first.
(off to the Abattoir crack of dawn with a couple of lambs, but I doubt they'll be around until I'm back)
mattinker:
OK!
Cheers Mate!

So yesterday a chap turned up in the afternoon and back filled most of the trenches, but said he needed a bigger digger. So this morning the 1 Ton was taken away and the 3 ton arrived, and he 'finished off' including loading the cut down hedge into a big lorry along with the soil that wouldn't go back in the trench (so no doubt we'll have 'sinkage' in a year or so as it settles.
He's done a fair job, but it's still a heck of a mess considering that before they came it was a lawn awaiting it's first cut of the season :(
:thumbup:
Meeting arranged for tomorrow afternoon with their liaison person to discuss what they'll do to re-instate the grass and the hedge (and the bit of fence demolished by Mr 3 ton digger :bang: ) He did at least confess he'd done it
