My work progress and diary

December 2011

Friday

Its Friday, mind you I have not been to work this so I am wondering why I am so happy its friday.  Well I have been busy, as said before constructing a new website for 2012.
 
This weekend will be light relief for me, no shopping.  Except for tracking down a new TV as the old one is playing up, I say old its only 7 years old, still nothing seems to last long these days, and the fridge freezer is not too happy either.
 
One thing you can be sure of though, our products will last, Decking, Patios and fencing.
 
See you all soon!!!

Planning 2012

Hi all, have planned the new look to the site, some extra pages, and new features. I am working on it over this weekend, hope you all like it.
 
This time of year is a great time to plan things, its a time when you sort the garden out and find what you like to have done for the spring, Decking is a feature that will enhance any garden. And of course the cold weather does not effect it.  We are laying a patio in Bexley next week.  And finishing off the fence there as well. 
 
I am looking forward to the new year, hope you are all well.
 
See you all soon!!!

All Over

As with this time of year the anti climax is kicked in, all the fuss of the two days and now not a lot happening, hence writing this.  I am looking forward to getting back to work, but at the same time enjoying the time off, recharge the batteries.
 
Hope you all have a great Christmas, and wish you a happy new year.
 
See you all soon!!!

New Site

Happy Christmas to all my customers throughout 2011, hope you have a great new year.
 
It has been a great year, working right up until Friday 23rd, and have acheived many things. 
 
We have had repeated business and many new clients.  Most of them local but also further afield.  Bexley is the latest one and we have to go back after the break on the 3rd Jan 2012 to carry on.  We have bookings until about early February.
 
Please be safe and healthy over Christmas and hope to see you all in the new year.
 
Watch out for the new improved website, new selected pages, more pictures and a new quest book.
 
See you all soon!!

Bexley ongoing

Job going well in bexley, had a delivery today of the fence pieces to make a close boarded type fence.  Took down three fence panels and shredded 90 per cent of the three trees we cut down and got the roots out, one of them was rather large.
 
Got another delivery of the customers slabs tomorrow. All 112 of them.
 
See you all soon!!!

Low emission Zone

What a day, went to Bexley cut down two trees and dug out a row of shrubs. 
 
All went well until I was told that I was in the low emmisions zone and that my vehicle as from the 3rd Jan 2012 will not comply.  Happy days, came home spent about 90 mins on the phone to various people still non the wiser.
 
Waiting for a phone call tomorrow from a nice lady who I hope will tell me that my vehicle does comply.
 
If not its a bloody long walk.  !!!

Bexley

Well I am off to Bexley tomorrow, Monday, to start a new scheme, its some paving, a small deck and fencing.  And not forgetting cutting down three trees and getting the roots out.
 
See you all soon!!!

2011/2012

Well The holiday is almost upon us, as if we did not know, it has, thanks to all of you, been a great year and signs are that 2012 will be a year where we all reflect on the past years and look forward to getting back into shape including the country. 
 
All of us at MB have been working hard to give everyone the garden they deserve, and with the feedback we received I would say we have done just that.
 
Our commitment to garden landscaping has not and will not deminish and we look forward to hearing from you in 2012.
 
May I take this point to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
 
Thank you for your continued support.
 
See you all soon!!!

Diggers Bucket

Had a good day today finished with the hired digger, with the rain last night it made the ground very soft and slushy, in fact some of the soil picked up would not leave the diggers bucket, it was just stuck there.
 
Made a good improvement and now have to leave the ground to rest until around February to carry on, by that time it would have settled and more likely to be easier to level.  Fresh topsoil will then be applied.  Other work can be started sooner.
 
Just back in Walderslade to finish off the deck.
 
See you all soon!!!

Clearing

Used a digger again today, this time is was fior clearing away built up soil, the worse type for digging by spade and shovel, Heavy clay and flint, the hired digger took it in its stride.  Also dug out several tree stumps with it as well.
 
As said in previous blogs well worth the money, and very good on diesel as well, spent all day and still loads in the tank. All it needs is a space of 1m wide to gain access to the garden.
 
I would take a picture but when you have seen soil before you have seen soil, if you catch my drift.
 
Tonight is very windy out there, a good test for the fence we have built in Strood, gust up to 60 miles per hour.
 
See you all soon!!
 
 

Planning

I tell you now is a great time to plan ahead for next years garden schemes, no really, not only are the gardens at their worse so you can see what needs doing, but because nothing is growing its a great time to have the area dug up ready.
 
Planning ahead is half the battle, to tackle that spot now will reap dividends.
 
It will work out cheaper in the long run.
 
See you all soon!!

Sunday

Not a very great day out there at the moment raining quite hard.  Very quite Sunday morning, should hear the church bells soon though. 
 
Still we do need the rain, but could it stop tomorrow when we are working, got another digger coming and it makes all the difference on a dry day.
 
See you all soon!!

Running out of time

Its great to be busy but I find myself running out of time to keep everyone happy this side of Christmas.
 
The turf suppliers will not be able to deliver the turf until next wednesday, the digger that a customer was going to hire and get a friend to drive is not going to happen so we have to do it, well it looks that way, and then we have to bexley and start a job booked for the 19th december.  
 
Happy days.  !!  still I would only moan if I have no work so I ought to be thank you, which I am totally
 
See you soon!!

Strood

Doing quite well at strood, got 10 posts and rails up yesterday, and the feathered edge boards on today, also the gate installed.  So all doing ok.  Going to be about another fours days I think to finish.
 
See you all soon!!
