37 hours, 52 weeks for me. secondary school in dorset. Did a suite of 30 machines in a half term, including moving the old 30 around the school, removing the old old machines that the old ones were replacing, some cabling in another room and disposal of the packaging. Finished around 6pm on the friday! *edit* This was on my own Chris
