Yeah there on mynladt few weeks in pictures it's red Tarmac not block though. No it's just a little rickety the guy wanted against our advice. Our mate took them out his helicopter.

mind you it was 90 mm blocks in those days
cheers LLL
i still use scaffold bars for screeding off. i just cut the 4''x2'' screed bar to suit. i have done 4 drives on this estate and yes all 60mm eaton brindle with charcoal boarder.
think i asked the question before i did this drive, how to screed when you have different gradiants going in different directions. think we decided freehand was the only way.

i hope you can't see my wireless 
and yes lll more free hand curves. if you were doing radius like it says on the main site, wonder what difference going up a gradiant be to a curve, perhaps none.

i thought the latest thinking is that 50mm+ of sand is way too much
I have been using 22 mm electrical conduit for 5 years now approx 25-35mm of sand finished
maybe its my bricklaying background, where we always use arch formers for arches,but i am not keen on freehand arcs or wiggles as i see them :;):
jeez some inset covers on that drive dylan

i cut out my screeding timber to give me 30mm sand, there were 2 more inset covers on the top, 5 in total, some work there. the manholes were a right pain, they were concrete oblong rings, had to corbal them in to sit the trays on[the hole was bigger than the resessed manhole coverlutonlagerlout wrote:i thought the latest thinking is that 50mm+ of sand is way too much
