Well done to all who contribute to the content, format and illustrations...It is by far the most informative site I have found to date and believe me...I have looked at many sites relating to DIY building works as I have spent the past three years (alone) building a 7 bed (7 bathroom) Bed and Breakfast from the ground up. Now for the bad news...I had already paved my ground area of around 120 slabs just last week (two paths and a large porch area)using British Standard flags that are 50mm thick and measure 600x600 and 600x900 and wish that I had found this site prior to commencing the work as I have laid them all using the 'spot' method and nearly broke my back doing it! I have laid them on a 100mm solid concrete base and used 9 spots for the 600x600 and 12 for the 600x900. I have not pointed them in yet and intended to use a semi dry mix including a dye to 'grey' the mix. Have I wasted my time though as you suggest that the spot method is a total NO NO ?? | |||

You have it all, not only is it a site that covers all the things it says it covers properly. It also covers them in clear English without jargon. But not only that, it also give access to where to find the official jargon, for specifications and legal requirements if it is needed. This is a one stop site, if it is not actually on the site then you have the link, to take that extra step. Most other site's will give good info, but generally, you still have to put another search into google to check for bits that are missed or the fact that there are no URL's or links provided. As I said you do provide it all. I thought only the gods were perfect, but you have proved me wrong. Best of luck with this great site. I will be a regular visitor. By the way your articals on drains and sewers are excellent. Thanks Joyce DIY fanatic, that likes to do things right. | |||

All I can say is thankyou and what an excellent and professionaly informative site you have produced (so, like me, even the non - professional can understand construction related jargon). Please keep it up. Reagrds, A more confident (and informed) 'home improver'. | |||

I have a site level issue and this web-site has ensured I won't end up with a bodge and wet brickwork above damp course. I have ordered the book, as much to say thanks as anything as the site gave the info I needed, but I am sure I will find it a useful reference. | |||

I have never attempted anything like this before and I have found this site covers everything in laymans terms and more. I will set the uneven stones on bed of grit sand and cement dry mix and will point them with coloured morter to enhance.. what a great tip! As long as you peg out your levels (water doesn't slope with a crooked pond!) you can't go wrong with the great information off this site. I just need a dry week to lay.. the weather is the only problem. Great site, will recommend to everyone! Thank you |
