[QUOTE="Manualworker123, post: 509643, member: 33780"] They quoted prior to the pandemic in a relatively rural region. Then the pandemic hit and while I’d got back to them it was a few days before it became apparent the first lockdown was going to happen at which point I imagine they were shoring up their existing jobs and I was busy saving my business. Not much happened over the summer and then I got back in touch before Christmas and they were glad to pick it back up again but it’s a v small job for them. it then took me two months and my back wrecked twice to dig the trench at the weekends. I know that yard I’ve been digging across as I’ve tried to dig it once before with a mini digger to dig a wall foundation and it’s got a lot of very good fines in the hardcore and then concrete. It can only be done by hand so that took a long time. No one would actually quote for the trench it in the winter. so by this time I’d forgotten what we’ve agreed and it’s taken 6 weeks to get them out as all their big commercial contracts are now in full swing.
