Well done to @apintofstella1 who I think had the closest guess with 477!
Well done. I was so close (472)!
@@Sarah-bd2bg I wasn't that far off with my 438 either. Congrats to the winner!
What percentage of the take away cost is tax? !!!!
There is a screener that fits on a bobcat, and it picks up the soil and spins it out where you want it. A very neat idea.
Thinking outside the box on another level. And Tim, you say "no action in this video" but it's still very entertaining. Can't wait to see the screening machine!!!
Hi Tim as a digger driver youre right about aggregates. Type 1 mot is the highest grade of roadstone 0-40. Its also called 803. The stuff you have is 6f2 which is recycled concrete and brick 0-75mm
Ooooooh. Rock Grizzly! I used to have a homemade screen of scrap lumber and hardware cloth that I used to clean out flower beds. It fit on a tote and I would slide it back and forth to sift out bulbs, rocks, and roots. So satisfying. When I found TH-cam videos of the giant ones, I was obsessed. And I've seen several DIY versions made with barrels with holes drilled in of various sizes and mounted on a slant that sorted various size rocks. I can't wait! EDIT: I just found out this is called a trommel?
Don't apologize for the lack of action, Tim, I've really enjoyed the Crusher episodes, quantities and all. As you say, there will be plenty of uses around the farm - stabilizing pathways and crossings - for some of the larger particles of the Type 1 - 2. Fingers crossed for the sand/topsoil sifting project. Hopefully your vids have sent some trade the manufacturers way and they reciprocate with some heavily discounted equipment loan/hire.
Tom & Tim - T & T that sounds an explosive combo 🙂
WOW 😮😮😮 that's an eye watering saving !!!!!!! Well done you guys 🎉🎉
I used a small crusher in my back garden to crush the hardcore I knocked down (old wall) and what I dug up (construction waste from the original build). Ended up with about 10tons which was used for the base of our garden (fake grass) and the foundation of my workshop. A friend took about 4 ton for his drive. Let my neighbours know I would be creating a lot of dust and two days work handballing it all in saved a fortune and was very satisfying. Would highly recommend- fitted through the garden gate.
i vote get the screener in - also i've waited all week to find the weight
I imagine for most people the limitation preventing this would be the lack of space to store the crushed concrete until it's used. But any large rural site, brilliant reuse. Great energy saving too.
I agree the saving is big but someone local in the comments said they were interested in buying the concrete. I think you need around 40 tonnes of sand so it is a significant amount. That would be for the whole building though.
Loving these videos, keep up the good work
Nothing wrong with the Aldi wacker plate 😊
Hello great progress
Brilliant as ever 👏 👍
First, I love it!
Thanks Tim, Jo, Girls, Maggie, the Goats, the Chickens, the Birds, the pigs, Matilda, Samson, Humpty Dumpty and ‘Jack’ the forklift…. Come on call it ‘Jack’
Great job 👍
Really interesting video; I’d suggest as valuable as one of the on the tools episodes. Sustainability element aside, financially that will go a long way to mitigating some of the cash you had to throw at appeasing those idiots at Planning. 👍🏻
Aldi whacker plate 🤣🤣🤣Please give it a try 😜
I’ve got it, use it plenty just not for a 300m track! 😂
Great achievement all round.
I’m amazed that there isn’t more there. I used 160 tons on my track and, on the screen, it looks like you have a LOT more stone. Mind you .. they say the camera puts 20lbs on ..TH-cam obviously puts tons on.
We did this and I think it saved us a few thousand. We chushed about 120T of bricks and concrete at a cost of £1,100. We would have had to pay several times that to muck away and buy in scalpings.
I was staggered at how much you ended up with. Massive saving.
Regarding the sand, doesn't it come down to the grains and if they are more rounded or rough. If too rounded you can use it with cement?
Now you have enough money saved to build the pool 😅
Result. 👍
475! Crikey, I think I was an order of magnitude off 😂
There was a 60's building next door to me, it was sold about 8 years ago to a developer. He decided that he would bring in a crusher to crush down the rubble to reuse in the road base they would put in. In came crusher, huge pile created, then it had to be tested. Turned out it contained trace amounts of asbestos, now useless for the road base.
I had 1,100 tonnes of clay removed from my site, that was a lot of 20 tonne lorry loads!
bravo
An old boss of mine never threw anything away, Ive got it in yard, go look for it, it costs me nowt thats my clout! His yard was amazing. If you can recycle please do. Nice job.
Love It ! Saving ££ Just by Thinking........
If you can weld, you could knock up a Trommel to screen the material. Its not hard as alll a Trommel is, is a tube made of screening mesh, sat on a pair of rollers at each end. It would probably cost less in materials than hiring a screening machine.
I put some real thought into my tonnage estimate as well, I looked up the concrete crusher specs found out it's volume output rate per hour and times that by roughly the amount of hours I thought it was crushing concrete over the day and a half it was there (I deducted lunch breaks and took into account several tea and biscuit stops) 😂
Were you close?
@@TheRestorationCouple my guess was 700 ton from memory, you must have had a few extended tea breaks that I didn't account for 😅
What a good saving crushing all that, if you payed to get it removed probably whoever removed it would take it away and end up crushing it and selling it back to you 😂😂
MOT is the old term, MOT ( Ministry of Transport) is now known as SHW ( Specification for highway works ) and this covers all materials for road construction. Type 1 sub base is used as the final unbound load bearing layer before concrete, asphalt etc, this is made from virgin quarried aggregate. Type 2 is the same but made from recycled aggregate. Type 3 is a subbase that is more free draining for porous surface layers. 6F4 is 75mm to dust and is used as a capping layer normally used below Type 1 /2 with 6F5 being the recycled version of 6f4.
*CO2 Comment* : In addition to the CO2 saving from not having a parade of HGVs, you've also saved the CO2 that would have been required to blast and crush the aggregate at the quarry if you bought in new aggregrate. With some offsetting due to the use of the crusher. So you've saved a shed load of CO2. More and more budgets will have to be done not only on financials but also on CO2 emmissions I think ( maybe even for planning permissions ). Greetings from Prague, and well done to @apintofstella1 with their spot on guess !
photosynthesis
55 ton of sand is the answer to your sand blinding question lol
If saving CO2 is good, saving cost is excellent, reusing is amazing!
@2:20 - "Agreggate calculator" - i see what you did there.
Not that you will, I dont think anyway. You could always sell some of it and recoup some pennies if you had surplus.
I can see a green award coming ur way 😂
Unfortunately not when you see how much concrete needs to come back in! 😬
@TheRestorationCouple we can only do as much as we can tim without bankrupting ourselves 😂 are u having solar somewhere on the farm not necessary on the house ???
👊🫡
448, close but no cigar 😢
Sorry, I havent been keeping up with all the news - but who's Tom?
I was quite on spot guessing 5000 pounds to get ride of if and 7500 pounds buing new, but i was really way of thinking that you would have to pay 5000-8000 for the chruscher and his work. Are you shure he dident give you a realy good price because of he geting free comersial on your youtube chanel? I have some things i would like to crush, i will try to get prices from companys doing that kind of work, but i dont expect to get soo good prices like you found on that chrushing. Thanks for sharing!!!! 🇸🇪❤️
2000 pounds to crush 475 tons of concrete? Seems like a really low price if you include all the running costs
That bloke who done the crushing could sale sand to the Arabs 😂
TnT working hard for are viewing pleasure
Too much rambling. It took you 8 minutes to tell us how much you saved. One loses the will to live.
Bugger, should have substracted 25t from my original 500t estimate in stead of adding it.
BTW, when are Tum, Tem and Tam chipping in?
Throw that discovery in the bin and get a touareg or amazon.....Thank me later......
That was cheap to have that crushed
