[what chillies are these?]

They look like Serrano's Tony. Best way is to take a bite. They are suitable for people who like a mild chili

[lutonlagerlout]

yes toshed at 45 deg. easy with the im90 and 90mm ringshanks

Colm you know well they are not serranos :laugh:


my mate came round and bit about 5 mm off the end of one earlier

that was his first and biggest mistake

around half an hour later he was fit to drive after plenty of milk tea and biscuits

they are luton grown "naga jolokia"

around 100 times more powerful than a jalapeno

in the interests of science i chewed on an *apache* chilli and that was enough for me

cheers LLL

[mickg]

looks superb Ashley, love the colour is that a Natural Paving product ?

[DempseyLiverpool]

Cheers Mick. Yes both from natural paving. The quartz is supposed to be laid as block paving but there's a 10mm difference in thickness on some !

[lemoncurd1702]

Beautiful stuff Dempsey. Are you going to point up the drive the same as the path?

[lutonlagerlout]

sheesh I hope not!
you will end up with fingers like fighter pilots thumbs squirting that lot in
excellent work dempsey
its nice to get on jobs like that

I would always bed stone paving on a screed, like you say the depth varies too much to lay on a sand bed, even thought there is additional cost its a much better finish

[DempseyLiverpool]

I agree mick. cheers lll, Lemon. Pointing talk is being discussed but customer likes colour and finish of the limestone. Ive given him all the info on the resins and he's having a look. Fingers crossed !!

[DempseyLiverpool]

Any suggestions welcome for pointing. Product or colour. Not far from finishing now and weather is on the turn.

[mickg]

IMHO the best brush in products are Marshalls weatherpoint 365 and GFTK both in grey

If the customer can push the boat out with cost then the best option would always be the 2 part mixes but when you compare any of the brush in products to your buckets of sand and cement that option would always win on cost every time, the advantage is when it takes days and days of your time to point with the gun and especially when its raining as the work can still be completed

the other way is to slurry mix the pointing with a 3:1 mix and to hire the pergo belt cleaner
