Tidy work there Mick plus them stafs are nearly bomb proof 
I knew I had forgot another reason, I used the blues because the brick has to be frost proof having them in the ground

I fixed a driveway once, 85 year old pensioners got taken for £8000 for 30m2 of monoblocking.Dave_L wrote:Ha so true those four items always seem to come to the surface during any digging work!!!!
They put in a linear channel in front of his garage, left it filled with sand and instead of using a proper 45 degree pipe they had just twisted a volvic bottle and glued it on, and that was the least of their problems

Nice work there boys.
I never seem to get a client who wants to spend money on a nice finish, it's always "what's the cheapest blocks, edgings...."
Keep your eye on the roller man Dave, last thing you need is a nice long green scrape down that render:D

nice block work mr.pink
in picture 2 is that the 22mm gas pipe you have loaded your blocks against?
and although technically correct ,your block corner is a waste of blocks
if you cut a block and get a 330 and a 110 you use these together to get half bond,then 2 whole ones above
your 100mm trick works but you end up wasting blocks
site looks neat and tidy
great stuff

in picture2 low down on the existing wall to the right hand side?
looks pretty much like our sites
only other thing is i like the blocks stacked in 4's rather than 2's
they are ok stacked like that but if you cut one you can get cracked ones below
nice work dan
