i can see the tolerance issues from the photos
methinks a bigger joint would have alleviated that a bit
10mm joint would have made life a lot easier
installation looks good but not sure if it goes with the house very contemporary paving for such a period looking house

I think we see things a lot different to the "civies", they'll love that, and won't notice any joint variation or anything else. I send myself mad with details such as that, and the clients just look at me with a vague expression as if i'm deranged(hum), it's what marks you above the shoddies.

I get that look from the boss! If I can see a fault in anything, I will always try to rectify it no matter what! because it will just pi55 me off every time I look at the damn thing, and give me nightmares!

Looks like you use a pretty dry mix, would they lift easily?

We had to change a few before pointing as they had slight variation in the flame texture finnish or half textured due to the cutting process? you could only spot them after it was dark , whilst wet and the reflection of the gazebo lights but they had to be smashed out due to the tight joints. After pointing with romex D1 You could track a 14t excavator on it no probs!
