thank you cookie :)

I knew I had forgot another reason, I used the blues because the brick has to be frost proof having them in the ground

I fixed a driveway once, 85 year old pensioners got taken for £8000 for 30m2 of monoblocking.
They put in a linear channel in front of his garage, left it filled with sand and instead of using a proper 45 degree pipe they had just twisted a volvic bottle and glued it on, and that was the least of their problems :angry:

Nice work there boys.
I never seem to get a client who wants to spend money on a nice finish, it's always "what's the cheapest blocks, edgings...."

Keep your eye on the roller man Dave, last thing you need is a nice long green scrape down that render:D

nice block work mr.pink
in picture 2 is that the 22mm gas pipe you have loaded your blocks against?
and although technically correct ,your block corner is a waste of blocks
if you cut a block and get a 330 and a 110 you use these together to get half bond,then 2 whole ones above
your 100mm trick works but you end up wasting blocks
site looks neat and tidy :)
great stuff

in picture2 low down on the existing wall to the right hand side?
looks pretty much like our sites :)
only other thing is i like the blocks stacked in 4's rather than 2's
they are ok stacked like that but if you cut one you can get cracked ones below
nice work dan
