Tidy job Darren. I was thinking about doing a feature wall with it in my house.
Simon, its been around for a couple of years. At £43 per m2 its great value for money. Most people use it as Luton says, which is for a feature wall or a water feature. This mean that they are only using 2 or 3m2, so not that expensive in the big scheme of things.
Thanks to Tony for posting all the good piccies and giving some good feedback. Wanted to also add that we delivered an addtional 10m2 of the cladding to Tony on Monday morning and it was a total cock up to be honest. This is a picture of the crate we delivered to Tony on Monday
Dont know what the boys in the yard were thinking about sending out the pallet like that. It looks like a crate of rubbish
The problem has come about because the cladding is packed within the crate, in small cardboard boxes. The boxes then get wet and disintergrate inside the crate. It doesnt excuse the fact that the boys sent it out like that. Have instructed the guys in the yard to unpack all the cladding and put it onto crates. Going forwrad it will need to be stored inside to avoid this happening again

i wouldn't have posted that steve
but fair play within 2 hours the lot had been replaced
you cant ask for more than that
I think the measure of any person or company is not how they work when things are going well, its how they put a balls up right
we have all done it at one time or another and it pains me to listen to people when they try and squirm out of things
on another issue we have gone for easipoint, contacted all the resin 1 and 2 part manufacturer's and not one could give the 10 year guarantee that the client quite rightly wants
would have used the larsen but i feel their buff has too much grey in it
so easipoint sand stone it is
60 more flags to lay then on with the squirting

nice work giles
wouldn't you be letting your lad down if that pump blocked and threw you off the wall?
you are not letting anyone down by refusing to risk your life
concrete can get poured any day
we all are under pressures at work ,but nothing is worth getting crippled for
nice work on the steels ,bet it was tight getting them in around the scaffold

true tony
the little moving skates are great, steel was 558kg 6m long
had two block and tackles and genie under it
we got the scaffolders to leave more than enough for the width we knew it would be.

I assumed it was to make it easier to clean, maybe he was thinking we'd be correctly inserting into the bottom of the form them pumping it up but with the steplock block had to fill them from the top, and no poker allowed Less than satisfactory if you ask me
