If it is raining or blocks have got damp, what do I do about sweeping in the kiln dried sand? When I try to do it, it sticks to the blocks. Do I have to wait til a hot summers day?!!! Or will the sand eventually go between the blocks if I put enough of it on?

You wait until the surface of the blocks is dry. It might take two or three goes to get the joints properly filled, but, everytime the top of the blocks is dry, you dart out and do all your sanding-up jobs while you can. :)

We had a thread on this a couple of weeks ago - was it PAJ and his never-ending rain???

Just had a look and it was PAJ's thread - take a look at the second page of "rain rain and more rain!!! " in this forum.
