Back on topic... that clay drive looks good, glad to see the diamonds in it, too big an area for plain block paving.

i had a guy on and off 10 years ago do a bit for/with me
he had been involved in tunnels and caissons all his life
anyway with a pick and a shovel only,he dug out and barrowed a full 8 wheelers worth of chalk to the front of the house by 4 o'clock
he had a strange technique with the pick,but basically it was like watching perpetual motion
he didnt stop for anything
like you carberry i can and do dig a bit
but when you see a true master at work it really is a sight to behold
cheers LLL :)

If the finnished floor level is deemed to be another 170mm lower then we will be up to about 400T

I'm not a big fan of diamonds never have been really but i can do whatever diamonds I like as the customers wanted them. (creative liecence but has to be different to next door) the blocks are the same colour and boarder so what to do on the next drive? Do I go mad and lay the drive 45'

It's a hindu symbol:

Nazi Swastika:

According to the Nordicist version of the Aryan Invasion Theory, the Nazis claimed that the early Aryans of India, from whose Vedic tradition the Swastika sprang, were the archetypal white invaders. The concept of racial purity was an ideology central to Nazism. Thus the Nazis saw fit to co-opt the Swastika as a symbol of the Aryan Master race.
