Why not start a poll to find the best one Matt?

Do they have to be local to you? ;-) Or do you mind travelling...

You don,t need a brick wall, just keep posting on here.

Davy , I am so pleased that you and Roy are getting to know each other .

Matt , I could do with some rivets knocking down if you are passing this way .

If you provide me with a method statement and risk assessment, I may be able to help you. Would you like to elucidate as to the reasons why you should take such drastic actions?

Mr B 2nd February 2012 07:31 PM

You'll want the wall to be built by a qualified brickie so in case it falls down you can sue the examiner

Maybe you could start a club for fellow headbangers.

What's wrong with a good sized firing shovel - just get someone to whack you on the head with that - bongggggggg........

Matt S 3rd February 2012 12:04 PM

tractionman 3rd February 2012 07:48 PM

I had one but the RRA smashed it up and made a road out of it at Dorset

Did the NTET organise that road making demo?

Look at the Allchin on the crusher.

brick wall
 
enough of this claptrap, lets get down to some serious discussion, why is there only one monopolies commission

The Melter 5th February 2012 03:49 AM

why is it you can't drink and drive, but pubs must have car parks,
And why is there an ashtray in a airplane toilet.

I could send you some lego

ruston-tom 8th February 2012 12:44 PM

Sorry Matt, Not as simple as that...

I'll design you a nice length of brick wall, but being a tall chap you will want it at a certain height so you will probably need planning consent. This will take around 8 weeks. The planners will no doubt want to change everything and I will have to amend my drawings before building regulations submission. That will take a further 6-8 weeks. You will require a Structural engineer to design the foundations as my PI insurance doesn't cover foundations... they will probably want to come a dig a bore hole and test the soil and it will take a few weeks for the results to come back from the lab. You will also probably require the use of a solicitor to write and read through all the appointment documents for your contractor to make sure you are getting a fair deal...you should also really tender to several local builders as per the guidlines of the NJCC code of conduct for construction tenderring.

I recommend you build this wall on your domestic property - as dependant on purpose of the land you will be required by law to appoint a CDM Co-ordinator who will produce a Health and safety file for the construction of the wall to ensure that the site compound is correctly constructed, the labourers have a nice heated cabin to drink tea in etc.

However, in around 12 months time, after the dust has settled (and a legal case regarding the poor workmanship of the mortar joints and the salt staining to the bricks) a lot of paper work and fees later you should have a very nice wall with which to bang your head on


Why should England tremble....Roll on summer!

You forgot the Aacheological digs, ecologists survey, accoustic monotoring, water quality monitoring, air quality monitoring.

If your site requires site clearance regarding vegetaion clearance ect, this should be carried out now before the bird nesting season commences in the spring.

If you start now with all of the above plus Ruston-Tom's posting you might have a wall in twelve months time, alternatively you might never build your wall if the initial site appraisal and feasability study find the site not acceptable for this type of construction.

I wonder if Mr Brunel put up with any of this?

ruston-tom 8th February 2012 01:30 PM

Fraser,
It's best not to discuss Archaeological consequences with a client unless they are accompanied by their Physician and Priest !

Most sites come with Acoustic, Vibration & particle monitoring equipment in the form of elderly people who somehow find your number and let you know if any of the above is inconveniencing their enjoyment of Dickinsons Real Deal' and show great tenacity to let everyone else know aswel.
