Barrier blocks at OBs

Orkney Builders Ltd.
Barrier Blocks in OB's yard. The old Precast Shed behind the blocks. In here Owen Tierney, now Councillor Tierney, ruled his little Kingdom.

That's another job the OIC have taken back in-house.
The blocks are made at Cursiter Quarry now.
I bet the OIC cant make them cheaper than OBs did.

Just an observation ~ would it not be impossible to make them cheaper now than when OBs did given the prices of the raw components will have gone up quite considerably? Even though the OIC puts broken glass in them as a form of recycling.
