they are indeed freshfield lane!

the slabs are bradstone textured. for some reason, the smaller ones are a different texture.

Manhole cost me two slabs from wrong cuts. Lots of headaches. Had a cup of tea when i got past it to celebrate.

Ordered 50sqm. Had one 300x300 left, and one 600x300. two broken slabs in the pack.
But i need 4 more 600x660 to finish the step and washing line slabs.

Most laser levels and receivers are +/- 5mm the really good ones are +/- .5mm like for concrete floors etc but I guess for setts 5mm is ok

Just suggestion Cookie, wouldn't it be a good idea to show the entire job, before and after! maybe even increase the time between each shot.

Maybe even having Helen Mirren dancing naked whilst you lay!
