Backyard Project- Preparing for Blasting

Much excitement.

A truck backed up the back track with a most unusual load.

Old rubber tires have been threaded together with steel cables and secured with metal brackets and bolts.

HHS Drilling and Blasting had arrived to prepare for the blasting needed to be done before the next phase of construction could begin.

It was another one of those specialised, high-tech vehicles. This is command central tucked under the heavy duty hoist. The first task was to lower the stabilising legs on either side of the truck.

Next, the driver hung the remote controller from his neck and proceeded to unload the very heavy rubber mats.

Then he left.
