its not what you would want to see on st pauls cathederal,but in terms of an upgrade to a muck fillet, it hits the mark
if you ever visit luton this road is alkie and junkie central,we had to leave someone on the deck at all times just to stop the tiles getting pinched
the paper shop on the corner ,the poor fella got stabbed to death over £20 3 years ago
newsagents killer
here was our lovely view
if you ever pay for meet and greet at luton airport ,that * car park* is one of the many dumps around town

I saw that circle being made in the yard last week. Didnt know it was for you Dan. Looks really good.
Not a big fan of squaring off kits myself, think it would have looked better with the lines running straight into the circle, but thats just my personal preference.
That stone is sawn Indian sandstone for the kota region, mega hard as I'm sure you know after cutting it
Cheers

I'd be happy with the flashing just needs working tighter.

just finished laying today and all pointed. pictures to follow
The squaring off kit needed to be calibrated to fit the joints of the slabs, as there was no allowance for 8mm joints, but thats the customer not explaining how he wanted the slabs laid!
no complaints from the customer yet!
we tried the easijoint stuff today amazing stuff if it works properly!

there are too many variables for a squaring off kit to have much chance of working
i struggle with cutting internal arcs accurately though
when the shed is on it dan can they even see the floor?

they won't see 75% of the slabbing i think. the circle they will as i guess the doors are going there.
I have asked if i can go back when this is done to get another photo

I use the plastic right angle things you get on pack of bricks and clamp them on with quick clamp things, the big industrial clothes peg things

easijoint recommends modelling clay. we all keep that in the truck don't we ???

why not point under the flag with a 4:1 building sand mix as the flags are being bedded so the only bit what needs attention is the front edge when your pointing with the resin based jointing materials

Its looking really good Dan. did you have to cut much of the stone yourself and how did you find it?
Any chance of a few finished photos?
