First tried 2 pit sand 1 sharp and 1 cement didn't work cloggedlutonlagerlout wrote:thanks pink
i reckon its about 95% myself but i have to be super critical
never done a perfect job
lot of work in that ground beam,we normally use USB wrapped in mesh

any additives?

Then tried 3 pit sand 1 cement work fine but colour was awful

took a couple more today
repaired next doors drive way after 11 weeks of scaffolding and temporary fencing
as the extension is 225mm in from the old boundary wall we had to use the old blocks at the front and get some new ones for further down the path
I hate leaving neighbours peed off after building work so try and reinstate their side to a good standard
move their gate and rebuild the wall tomorrow
roof opened up and second dormer constructed as well today
BTW the plastic cladding is not my preference,i wanted tile hanging but the arch didnt want it
all scaffold down at the front now , just RW drains to sort out and maybe the drive
cheers LLL
