FINISHED!! Thank God.
Just to let you know I managed to get hold of a Whacker today, Bank Holiday as well and finished the patio off. And I don't mind saying it looks superb. Thanks for all your help both in the Forum and in the excellent website. It is an inspiration and an incentive to a novice like me. I never realised it would be such hard work, but it's worth it.
Cheers
Neil
