The bloke I bought them from kept telling me I would need a digger to lay them.
Pah !
plywood, scaffold tube rollers, a bogey, big pry bar, bend at knees etc
I did think about making/buying tongs, but I've started now.....
set kerbs in position on bricks, lifting one end at a time slide 2inch timber onto bricks, shovel in 'dry' concrete mix, remove timber and bricks one end at a time, more concrete, knock down with rubber maul.
I thought some more on making a hydraulic cutter out of RSJ and bottle jacks, but came to the conclusion that if it doesn't work all you can do is add more jacks. So then I thought about building a drop hammer because with repeated blows it will eventually break.
Then I had a more sensible idea, and that is to buy the widest chisel for my concrete breaker. In conjunction with drilling holes and wedges I reckon that might work.
I shall try drilling some holes tomorrow......... |
