I know this may seem like a daft question - we have had some indian paving delivered, and me and the partner can't gree on which side should be face up. The edges are cut on all four sides, but very riven on one surface.
Should the riven surface be facing up, or be the face that you bed on to?
Many thanks
Indian paving - which way up?

Lost out to a job recently because another contractor could do it sooner. Saw the finnished job recently, sandstone had been laid upside down with goefix jointing.
I asked the contractor why he had laid the slabs upside down, said he had been in the trade 20 years and that they were not upside down.

I wish I had a meat and potato pie for every time I'm given the "I've been doing it this way for XXX years...." excuse for incorrect or shoddy workmanship. Spot bedding; edge courses on sand; upside-down imported flagstones....it's always the same: an absurd belief that because they've been getting away with it for a period of time, their incompetence becomes legitimised.
If they done any work on supervised, inspected or assessed projects, they'd soon find out which way is up!
