I am laying crazy paving, and found dry grouting a lot of help. Will read more on mixes and all on here. Good and to the point. Has anyone ever laid greenheart (timber that sinks in water) as a 'paving'? Gary DIYer ex hardwood timber trade.

Thank you for your site. It has proved to be a great help and will allow a patio newbie to talk to the builder with a little more knowledge and a lot more confidence. Jo

Thanks for the excellent site, you have answered so many questions for me regarding the creation of a patio. I really can't praise the site highly enough, it must have been a true labour of love to create it as it must have taken ages.

What a mine of information you have assembled. Thing are tough here in the USA. So bad in fact that I'm probably going to move back to the UK. The prices seem astonishingly high compared to here. Thank for all the info. Ian

This is by far the most excellent advice site on the web. Trust me, I do everything myself and I have looked at hundreds. Thanks for your generous release of such accurate and technically correct information. I will tell everyone I can about your brilliant site, even though I've just lost 3 hours reading stuff I didn't need to know but just couldn't stop! On a personal note, belated condolences for your father. He sounds just like my late dad, they don't make em like that anymore but I bet he'd be proud of what you are doing. Best regards Kev

Brilliant site, especially for an eejit like me, easy to follow guides, and in plain english, I love the way you explain and describe every detail of paving, even right down to why a boat level is a called a boat level, I always assumed it was because it was used mainly in boat building, told you I was an eejit. I have learned so much just from browsing through this site.

Dear Tony, I wish to register my gratitude and admiration for your wonderfully detailed and helpful site. Your unselfish sharing of knowledge is something that would undoubtedly make many lawyers and bankers uncomfortable. Keep the site going and I sincerely hope things are working out for you. The best pint in Naas is in McCormack's - obviously a relation !. Bye for now
