that concrete conveyer certainly saved a shit load of work for you lads lol

Is it attached to the wagon or what? never seen one of them before

[Dave_L]

Yep, it's part and parcel of the wagon, it folds out after being stowed overhead. Quite an impressive operation unfolding it, near overhead (uninsulated!!) cables, lamp posts and a live road!

[Stuarty]

Well seeing as only Dave and LLL have posted their works ill add to the thread. This is a job ive been doing just recently. The 'floating' deck was built by another member of the firm.

Looking from the gates in;


The 'floating' deck;


Workmate John - strange character heh


From the garage out;


Told you he was strange, but hes a good lad none the less


Gates in;


The small slabs round the drive, and on the patio are Marshalls Polesden Lacey. This is the first time ive used them and hopefully the last, i think they are dreadful looking things. But, what the client wants, the client gets.

snow has stopped play for today will post follow ups when,job is done
BTW thanks to dig dug dan for getting me a contact who can supply the "hens teeth" romex terrace
cheers dan
regards LLL

[dig dug dan]

no probs tony

Would post a photo of our yorkstone patio with the romex but can't see how to do it.!!

[lutonlagerlout]

if you can d/l a photo from your phone or camera to your pc,then resize to 640 by 480 approx and save to "my documents"
then go to www.imageshack.us and click browse==> then find your picture in your documents and click on it.
then click "host it" on the imageshack site
you will be given a choice of links but the one you want is the very bottom one "direct link to url" copy and paste this into the "img" function on the forum
sounds difficult but it is easy once you get the hang off it and takes about 1 minute per picture
no one will take the mick if you get it wrong,i have doen it wrong loads
cheers LLL

[dig dug dan]

ok Tony. Here goes


Note the gaffer tape blocking the pointing gaps hanging over the steps. Another problem using romex!!
Patio not finished as the electrican has to install the lights, customer to fill the pond and their carpenter to install the pergola.
will post another when all completed. £50 per sq m for real yorkstone.
You think you got problems tony with your different sizes? Not one slab was the same size here. I had to lay the stones in rows, finding all the slabs that are similar width, then cut them to fit the gap so to speak. The biggest challenge was laying a 3' x 2' 3" thick slab. back breaking!!

well after what you and big T said about it john, i will give it a shot,pointed 40m last weekend on my own and it was no fun whatsoever
probably the only thing that has held me back is the bitter taste of geo-fix and sika-fix
very nice job dan,i have done a few yorkies myself ,i think it was £90 a m for sawn stuff,it is bleedin heavy though. starting to dream about a nice riven patio to lay hey!

So wo else got soaked today? We surfaced a driveway 276m2 (20ton) started in the pouring rain but it cleared up halfway through. Just dried out now!

[Tony McC]

I miss all the fun weather, now that I'm crippled and forced to spend the day clinging to a radiator in my study. Oh how I miss the snow, the hail, the rain, the sodden feet, the frozen hands, the constant snerching and the loss of feeling in my toes! :;):
