Cheers Cookie, tar is hard to get excited about looks-wise but there is a lot of skill in getting this right - and you can't lift it and re-lay it if you get it wrong!

lovely work cookie
why the wet mix?
those flags look good,they almost look like old council greys
you must have laid 25-30 m2 in a day there?
the subbase steve is a variety of what we crushed
blinded in places
I have had to order 4 tonne of type 1 for tomorrow as all the crush is gone

Please forgive me if im wrong but them setts look like they have some mortar staining on them, or is it just dust etc?
Lovely york stone flags, never seen them that size before. Approx £25.00 per flag.....worth every penny i reckon

I'm sure he's just bought a belt cleaner to get rid of the mortar on the surface.
