well, im doing a patio of about 10 sq yards on a soil bed, is it ok to lay blinding to the soil and firm down, then mix a dry mix of sand and cement (10sand 1 cement?) to lay the slabs on? and can i use this same mix to point the slabs? also can you recommend a good mix of concrete to put up fence posts? i was going to mix 3parts sand, 2 parts cement and 1 part stones, is this roughly ok? and how much would u recommend i buy of each to put in say, 8ft posts dug 2 feet down to leave a six foot fence?

id appreciate any help you could give me on this topic

regards

Send me whatever you want uploading, Lee. I've been offline for a spell (Mrs Taz's granny left for the great hotpot shop in the sky) but I'm slowly catching up with everything.

New Guy - have you bothered reading any of the main website??

i share an access passage with two neighbours, this leads to my back garden. a third neighbour that does not have use of the passage as his back gate is on the side of his garden had built his fence a foot onto the access path. this is causing difficulty getting bikes ets into my garden. do i have the right to ask him to move his fence back into his boundry?:(
i share a right of way path at the back of my property with two neighbours. a third neighbour that does not have use of the path way has built his fence out on to the path by appx 1 foot, this may seem petty but it is causing a problem getting bikes and other items down the path into my back garden. i do not want to have to bring these muddy items in through my house. do i have a right to ask the neighbour in question to move his fence back into his boundry?

Check your deeds to see who actually owns the passage. If it is a part of your property, your mortgage provider will be very keen to pursue this matter.

You need a legalexpert, not a pavingexpert!
