copings delivered by london stone this AM
on the exact date they said it would be and time
50 sawn copings and not 1 chip, crack, or mark
by the time I had cut the mitres etc we used all 50
sadly a massive thunderstorm precluded any more pics today
fair play to your masons LSP the whole lot were perfect

Looks good
Do you use just 1 size slab alot, i am assuming 900x600?
Do you have a picture of the external corner for the cladding?

what a transformation tony. What was the jointing, was it easipoint? how many bags.
I love the large size flags. easier to lay and you cover a lot of ground!

Nice job there tony. But I'm not overly keen on the walling stone or tile, whatever you call it.

higgness i got feed up with the small units being mis-sized on 4 size random
suddenly there would be 50 mm or 3 mm joints popping up
we went through the options and opted for big
the corners were a pain will look for a pic,we tried mitreing but it didnt work so they kind of got butt returned if that makes sense
looks ok ,not ideal but client is happy
we used 15 bags of easipoint over 180m2 obviously with the big units 10mm joints roughly 25 deep
like i say back on the building work for a good bit now,give my back a rest :;):

LLL looks really nice, the capping looks great , I take it the stones behind the wall is drainage, i cant see any holes round the front of them???
that step looks fantastic ...

Nice work Giles. What a beautiful place to work. I am sitting here within a stones throw of Heathrow airport.
Looking good Tony, any issues with laying the copings?
The grass could use some water

simon the client didnt want pipes through the wall so we made a deep french drain
steve
as said the copings were perfecto
a lot lot better than any concrete ones I have laid
we put around 500ml of sbr in every mix and they seem well stuck
cheers LLL
