LLL still very good going i always dodge the pointing i taught Shaun well tell them there the best ??? ??? mind you he is good.i cant go on my knees :plutonlagerlout wrote:600 by 600 slabs mr.cook :;):
lot less jointing than injun stone or setts
and i would be using a marshalltown jointing iron on concrete slabs rather than a trowel
but admittedly it would be more like a day for 1 experienced man
thing is if you have been on the knees for 5 hours the rest of the day is a bust
I did 68m2 of 450 by 450s last year on a very very long sunday, lets just say i wasnt doing a lot of dancing on the monday

haha i wish, was on a job today and the guy was like can you just pull that tree stump out, only had the 1.6 ton little jcb took an hour of finding roots and chopping through them with matock and bar.
doing a water main connection in morning and last 3 metres is to narrow for our smallest machine so will be hand digging in clay on a saturday . can't be bothered hiring a .75 ton etc.
plus a days hand digging doesn;t mean i feel guilty about not going to gym even if im eating pies as i do it haha
