I love the large size flags. easier to lay and you cover a lot of ground!

Nice job there tony. But I'm not overly keen on the walling stone or tile, whatever you call it.

higgness i got feed up with the small units being mis-sized on 4 size random
suddenly there would be 50 mm or 3 mm joints popping up
we went through the options and opted for big

the corners were a pain will look for a pic,we tried mitreing but it didnt work so they kind of got butt returned if that makes sense
looks ok ,not ideal but client is happy
we used 15 bags of easipoint over 180m2 obviously with the big units 10mm joints roughly 25 deep

like i say back on the building work for a good bit now,give my back a rest :;):

Nice work Giles. What a beautiful place to work. I am sitting here within a stones throw of Heathrow airport.

Looking good Tony, any issues with laying the copings?
The grass could use some water :D
