Cleaning driveway

As I said, there are "techniques" that enable jointing of damp/wet surfaces. The simplest is to wash the sand into the joints - there's even a nifty little machine to help you do this.

It's a reasonably popular technique on the continent, particularly during the wetter months, but it does rely on the paving being laid on an exceptionally free-draining laying course and a sub-base with similar qualities.

We use this technique in Ireland during the winter, but it seems to be almost unknown here in Britain.

That is something that I have not heard of before, do you have a web-link etc for the "nifty machine" you could send me?

I've got mental pictures of one of those floor polisher type machines!!!

I thought I had a photie of it being used on a job in Limerick, but I can't find it so here's a bit of stuff from the manufacturers....
