In australia mole is slang for prostitue :laugh:

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

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'

Go 45 deg. Always a winner. Must say that building is beautiful, is it government?

Ye olde town hall finnished in 1897 with terracotta masonry it will be totally spammed up this time next year... Forget the 45' to much faffing and cutting in 27'C today

they are not going to lay clay pavers on top of piers are they?
drive looks spot on
i did a guinness harp years ago pre camera times but last time i went past it had been removed
all the do as you likeys do diamonds and geometric designs round here
one hindu guy even put a swastika on his drive?
i like 45 deg and a detailed border
but the man who pays the piper gets what he wants
