Thursday at Tanfield

Colin & Geoff starting work to lift a drain cover by about 100 mm

...... so that Ian can weld a lock in place
Colin helping to change the bucket on the digger
The digger has been used to lift out the drain cover & shaft,
which was surrounded by about half a tonne of concrete
Colin breaking off the concrete
Cutting the drain shaft extension, which will raise the cover
The drain cover is now at the same height as the path & being back filled around
Digging a pit for a short sleeper wall
