why is there what appears to be a piece of wood jammed into the circle in the foreground?

[dig dug dan]

front driveway started.



After:




Soakaway in and drainage channel (note, no one else has bothered!)

at least you are making the effort dan
I still cant figure out how a gradient level spinning outside a circle can do the levels around the circumference
surely it would have to be dead centre of the circle for that to work
looking good both of you

LLL . the laser is set away from the circle, but on a leval grade,cookie has set a straight edge as a datum for the grade, on every course he sets the detector on the grade datum, then checks ever 6 sets say around the circle to keep the fall, then using a lump of oak levals them up between each other,
it took a bit of working out but we got there in the end,
could you expliain it any better cookie MSH

Did you have to disc a line to meet the old concrete. ? Looks ten times better.

Cookie a wider view would be better, over a longer period so you can see the transformation maybe over the entire job, 1 photo a minute gives you 1second of video is 24minutes

Very nice transformation tony just your camera work needs attention:p

[lutonlagerlout]

I aint no cameraman simon :;):
job was a bit of a ball breaker as front and rear paths were level so had to introduce a 20mm crossfall away from the front door
yes the pulvex blade made short work of the old concrete dan
took 10 mins each front and rear to go through 100MM of concrete
cheers LLL
