In the first pic at bottom of it there is a metal item with two handles...
We use these to grip onto the slabs in the lorry and get them out.
The four of us(two at front and two at back) can use these handles to lift and carry the slabs into the house, they are damn heavy but nice to work with.
I made one mistake with the measuring out and had to then cut 4" off at near 24' long.lol.
I think i have help for monday now so we can do plenty then.
I need to get back to my JOTM job by tuesday or wednesday,lol.
This company i'm doing this work for are top class, only 7 miles from me too.

I need to get back to my JOTM job by tuesday or wednesday,lol..

I took today off thankfully, well I really needed more handson this job.
But while in lifting a cheque a got 40 linear metres of 100 x 20mm rojo marble borders for around the perimeter, I'll start them at 8am Monday.
Beautiful red coloured but easily broke.
The sigma 10m will be busy this week, only 8 slabs left to go down.

Sounds like a challenging job alright.

Is it Armatile firing you the stone work?

 

[hillhead]

Hi wingn, no it ain't Armatile.
It's Adl, they're pumping some stuff out of their factory lately plus the have taken over the 'Yard' down your way too.
Interesting times ahead possibly.
