ive been advised to start at the bottom and work upwards. at the bottom my drive is angled. so do i transfer the house line to the bottom of the drive and trim the blocks to suit when i reach the top,or, come off square with the house and work down? setting it out today so would appreciate answer.

This has been covered before and I think the consensus was to keep square with the house.
You're entitled to the work, not the reward.

yes if you measure at 90 degree angles from the house to the edge then string a parallel line to work your first block off
btw i always allow 1005 mm for 5 blocks a 1000 is too tight
