not at all sean they are there
originally i told him to dig them out but as he was tipping the soil in his back garden he wanted to leave them
i went over them and smashed every one with the persuader before we spread the stone
he used the mud in his back garden (why i dont know?) so 30m for a grand is cheap in anyones money
i reckon he saved himself £600 by digging it out himself,plus the wall kerbs and pavement were insitu so no additional concrete work was required
anyway the bottom line is it can be done on a budget with a will and a way
cheers LLL :)

Tony were did you get roller from? Is it a Bronze one doing a steep concrete drive up in the hills and was going to brush it but that be perfect can get them from speedcrete but they're expensive.

Nice brickwork, the bricks we are using are £600 for 530 imported from Belgium. Told the brickie to be more careful than usual hehe

it is indeed weather struck and cut dylan
finished the sailor and tile detail this AM
Image

haggis texted me to let me know he was gonna be on the manor
and this happened
Image

cleared up later,so we did this detail
Image

we had to use 80 by 80 angle iron as there was an existing RSJ stopping a normal L10
each brick had to be cut 3 times to make a pistol shape to disguise the existing steel
the pulvex blade is still going strong
well impressed
LLL :)
