nice job
the brush in resin based jointing product would take less than an hour to joint that patio and if it rained would make little or no difference to the finish, the easipoint gun applied will take a few hours longer but does start to set after about 30 - 40 minutes so if it rained a few hours later it still would not spoil the pointing, both of these products are always a constant colour
if you was to be on your hands and knees all day pointing with traditional 4:1 sand and cement and it rained then the patio could be ruined and cement splattered all over the paving so the resin based is the best option on the day all be it at a higher cost but what is coming to light over the last couple of years is they are not lasting as long as traditional sand and cement pointing does

I can't stress enough how annoying these clients were they had 3 crates of lovely sandstone delivered the woman spotted one bit of a fossil on a flag a that was it down to b&q and found the bradstone crap which was more expensive the design was nothing to do with me I just relayed it after the builder of the extension Layed it with straight joints and cross joints all over the place not to mention the great dip in front of the back doors. I only offered to do it cos they are mrs pinks friends and when I heard two carpenters were coming to relay it I thought I'd better help out.local patios and driveways wrote:Does look good pink, but i cant but feel its too plain for such a large area. A border or feature would have made it more interesting, but client gets what client wants
Think paving, think pink!

Cant believe they chose that stuff over Indian sandstone. No offence to the installation Pink, it looks spot on but I do wonder with some peoples tastes.Thepinkpavingco wrote:I can't stress enough how annoying these clients were they had 3 crates of lovely sandstone delivered the woman spotted one bit of a fossil on a flag a that was it down to b&q and found the bradstone crap

I/We use the word 'gimp' or 'gimped up'. Not sure I could get away with it on a quotation or spec though.
I might try to slip it into one this week. See how I get on!
