Cheers, Chris.

Yup, it went over sideways Chris

My friend was operating it. Scared the daylights outta me!

I couldn't believe he got away with it! Had the grinding wheel bit into the ground when it fell & caused it to spin around.............. well who knows!

$150 but I still do not really understand how they wanted it ground, I'd just blast that bugger into smithereens, retaining wall too if it were in the way.

with what? half a stick of dynamite or your grinder?
