Bitta backie for the pipe and I'll schmoke it

Doesnt exist anymore.

But it does!

Any development in Northern Ireland with over 5 residential units SHOULD be adopted by DfI Roads through a process.

But as @pizza85 has said, adoption doesnt always = maintenance.

Aye, but how long does the process take and when does it kick in? Some developments are massive and the first few houses might’ve been handed over years before the full thing is finished!

At least if it’s been adopted then there is a proper channel to make a claim. More likely to get something out of the government than a contractor.

Well the Geotechnical Certification for the adoption of internal development roads usually takes 2 years to obtain for a scheme but ideally should be conductede along side the scheme progressing so that handover coincides with adoption. Developments should not have partial final surfacing unless they have phased their works which need to be approved by planning. Final surfacing isnt allowed until adequate settlement reviews are conducted and accepted by DfI.

Temporary surfacing isnt specified anymore, i havemt seen it in the 8 years of designing roads and reinstatement works. But that doesnt mean it isnt used so my apologies i sometimes forget contractors do what they want hahah.

Nice job!
What did you use bud? And any sealant ontop?

 

[Ian A]

Nice job!
What did you use bud? And any sealant ontop?

Do the below:

- Sand 1000 grit vertically until the yellow UV damage is off
- Sand with 2000 grit horizontally
- Machine polished with meguairs ultimate compound on a 3M green pad
- Coat of wax over the top.

Takes half an hour max, very handy done.

Gtechiq easy coat and anachem hybrid!

 

[redanni]

Bird bombs all over my roof forced me into an otherwise unnecessary rinse

 

[bigpupcooper]

Fitted dash cams to both motors. One camera needed a new battery soldered in which was a 10 minute job once I found my solder which I’d put in a safe place of course.

 

[collyirwin11]

Both cars required MOT, and was fortunate enough to get a date at short notice and meant both went today. Success for both thankfully!! Standard MOT ramp picks are no more with Covid, so had to do the standard Steering and lane number picture instead. Golf was heavily complimented by the tester which is nice to hear.

 

[Cossers]

You still have to stand outside? Mallon was saying that all over on the radio a while back!

 

[Steve750]

Left it off at the bodyshop to get some minor defects sorted. Should be pretty much perfect when finished

 

[brendy7]

Give the big omega some lows and new set of wheels

 

[Gambit]

i didnt do anything but i got word my subaru rebuild is at last commencing - block currently en-route from Engerland to OMA.

 

[gary1365]

There you go @_James_ it was a load of mud, stones and a dribble of rusty water behind the mud flaps

 

[KIbby96]

Finally got round to dressing her up.

 

[MarkM]

New ac condensers fitted before pickup on the ‘Baxter’ so thought I better protect them with Zunsport grilles, they’re very open as standard, no wonder so much rubbish gets in

 

[richie_mck]

Failed mot due to no side indicators so got busy with the dremel yesterday and fitted these from a 7 series, nice and simple. Decat will be back on after retest.

 

[c_rad]

Tidied up the headlights as they were in an awful state.

Before

After

Drivers side is maybe a bit far gone, but think I'll be replacing the lights either with something custom or a facelift set.

 

[McFall1984]

Swirl flap delete on the e60
Also fitted new plugs and glow plug module
Some stripping to get at that

 

[Gemma]

Got her pressured washed underneath for MOT this morning... Happy days... Drove about 500yards up the road.... Big red decided to throw me up some beautiful yellow abs lights so pretty.
Failed MOT still love her tho
Now I'm playing MOT refresh
