This is turning out to be 'one of those jobs'. As you can see from the previous pic I'd cut and dug a trench but what you cant see is the other 7 metres of yard where I had just cut 2 tracks with the stihl and not dug up yet. Went to finish off the trench today and the concrete gets about 3 inches thicker further down AND it's laid over 2 inches of york stone flags so my cuts weren't nearly deep enough for the rest of the trench. I thought that would be the easy bit. Will be hiring the stihl saw again on Friday and cutting out the tracks I've already done into mini trenches so I can get the stihl to cut deeper. By the way Tom, you don't happen to have a hole post digger do you? Could do with one for a day? View AttachmentScrewfix do the hole post digger i bought one for £35 off them back in December. Ended up getting one from B and Poo, £27  |

Some of the trench (without the tarp) You can see a couple of bones in the top left, that was a dog that was buried under there, I won't post a pic of the skull View AttachmentI was helping my brother many years ago on a farmhouse/ barn conversion. They had a team there with a JCB digging a large trench, Leading to a septic tank, then onwards to a drainage site/ reed filter bed sort of thing. On their second day digging the trench, they dug up a skeleton ( human). All work stopped while the police were called. About a week later, it was discovered to be a mediaeval burial, from something like the 13th century. |

Must have been quite scary for them all at the time though JJ.
