Done a job today, 155m2 of two-coat work - everything went like clockwork, the quarry 'performed', we had hot gear on time and the weather was great! No wind (nasty stuff for tarmac) and really sunny. Meant I could relax a bit on the roller as it stayed too hot to roll for a good while.

No material wastage either! It's always nice to see those last barrowfulls coming off the wagon with a metre or two to go!

Believe it or not, there's 31 tons of gear in here, laid by hand and we were home by 2pm.

On the same site, this is some Marshalls Calder Brown cobbled setts that we laid a couple of years ago, suits the development well I think. Love the cider press as a feature!

And some of the main access road we machine laid a couple of years ago, just before Christmas. 10mm SMA limestone. Well tough.

The image doesn't really do them justice Tony. The colours aren't quite right in the picture. I quite like them; the appearance compliments the buildings around them etc.

Exmouth 3mm gritsand was brushed into the joints - works well and looks good, olde-worlde type of paving.
