Fabrice is late, of course but once he gets here, he starts the slow job of deconstructing the fence. Here’s the story on the fence. There are 15 panels between 15 posts and 4 slabs per panel. Each slab is 2000 mm long, 500 mm deep and 50 mm thick, weighing 120 kg per slab. That makes the fence about 9.5 tonnes. Flashy’s original guess was “about 10 tonnes,” Just sayin’. It’s going to take about 4 runs to the tip, I reckon.

His excavator is about 2-3 tonnes and around 20 years old but seems to do the job. I think he’s done this before!

A slow start, obviously sussing out the best plan of attack, saw Fabrice start in the middle of the fence. Once he got the hang of it, he really got stuck in. Apart from a 2 hour lunch break, when his missus picked him up and they went home for the French lunch. 6.15 pm and he’s still working, so you really can’t complain.

The start
Whats App to EL and J and Joanne
One's gone
That won't take much weight!
7.00 pm. Almost down
Flashy has a go!
