Yep, 3 bags of building sand went into his new patio

Just found it amusing that jobs are still being landed and 'contractors' still do not have a clue. Had a new tipper and transit van, only two guys on the job, so it must pay

I have heard of a few people using building sand for paving. I tried it years ago and had to go back to jobs and rip and relay. Its a shame really because they might do a cracking job of the laying the paving while at the time its fundamentally flawed because they are using the wrong sand

so are you a member of neighbourhood watch? And you advised your neighbour that it is the wrong sand, didn't you ??? That's what good neighbours do, not gloat, shame on you.

Was down before I could advise him. Any intervention now would just be seen a shite stirring.

They'll be back after a few frosts. I'll tell them then
