Ok you jokers, the gatepost is suppose to be set in further to allow atleast 150mm of stone to surround it (therefore being hidden with just the gate hanging points showing. Like picture 2.
No this guy gets to work with......
1. the steel 100X100mm gatepost is to close to the gate hinge.
2. the footing aren't wide enough to build a 500mm thick wall.
3. he went ahead and had the expensive gates made first before allowing the wall to be built. Against all my recommended drawings and conversations.
It was not the (not well) owners fault but he let some bloke (his stupid no it all friend) get in his ear about doing it the alleged right way, then proceeding to cock it all up.
There's only 2 ways to fix this now, the wall must be built on the inside of the posts (gateposts exposed) with said walls being only 400mm thick.
He couldn't explain any of his actions to me about why he did it this way which makes it even more infuriating. Except to say the guy with the excavator only had a 400mm wide bucket. f*ck me.
