And i haven't even had a drink!

They are building some new flats just outside our place, since 7:45 in the morning for the past 2 days they've been putting in the foundations with some sort of piling machine.... For anyone who doesn't know what a piling machine is it drills 10 foot square concrete poles into the ground.

It's fecking 6:30 and the fuckers are still going, feels like a 2 day hangover and the whole house is vibrating so it's making me feel seasick.</rant>

ok being picky here:
but a piling machine hammers sheet steel piles into the ground and are used for either coffer dams or retaining piles
Auger rigs, drill large deep holes into which concrete is poured around steels......sorry

Missus used to be in civils ......
