back on track with tony's design service,now this particular client wasn't mad or bad, but she nearly drove me insane,we settled on a design,then the next day it changed,then the next day it changed and so forth for about 2 weeks
so what we did i gave tony the spec,then the lady said yes,then no ,then yes
but after much hairpulling it all started to come together,we saved all the hardcore from the demolition and used dig dug dan's crusher to make our first 15 tonnes approx. of type 1 we then bought in another 31 tonnes of type 1 which all had to be barrowed from the street to the rear of the job and wacked in 125 mm layers
it started off summat like this
then we did a loft conversion and came back and got to here
then after much more hard graft we got to this
the steps are 160 risers and 600 treads and the bricks (visible ones" are stonemarket cottage garden rose (which i heartily recommend) and blue staffs
after the internal work is done we will be paving it with stonemarkets olde london millstone slabs with 2 @2.76m radius packs to fit inside the top of the circular bwk (lets hope i got that right -gulp)
will post more when it happens
but once again recommend the patio meisters design service
to one and all

Impressive setting all that out must have been a nightmare not a right angle or straight edge in sight. I hope now they've spent all that money on fancy brickwork they'll do it justice and sort the rest of the garden out starting with a new fence. You did well not to trash the lawn too badly especially with all that rain.
i laid near enough every brick,problem with radius bwk is that you have to chase it IYKWIM,you cannot have 2 lads starting at either end or all sorts of nasties happen in the middle (re:12m curved memorial wall me and my pal lazzer built at stockwood golf course about 10 years ago,lets just say thank christ they put a plaque in the middle) so you have to start 1 end lay 10 bricks ,level them then plumb them ad infinitum,about 4000 bricks in that little baby
