I reckon Â£3000 for the food.

Shame you haven't got a cherry picker or a helicopter to get a photo of the full job. Maybe send Haggis up on to the roof? :p

I'm not sure thats a good idea Stewart. Have you seen how much food he's been putting away over the past 3 months.

do the setts stick down easily or do you use sbr only asking because weve got a load of sawn stone setts to lay but only 40mm thick

As above but sett in with a 2.5lb lump hammer and a 10mm gap all pointed with GTFK 800 epoxy pointing. These setts were 50mm thick anything thinner and you could pour some SBR and cement mix in to your prepared bed before laying them for peace of mind.
