Cant fault the work, but i think you need to some eccentricity about you to fully enjoy it, its just a bit busy for me.

Hagg: that is one cracking cut, you must have a shitload of patience! and a steady hand :laugh:

Nice looking garden but I don't think it fits the description of African themed.

Nice cut haggis, I would have been thrown off the job for swearing too much before finishing a cut like that

Too busy for my taste too but our client dictated the design. I went through a full box of Deck screws just putting up the wall art!! I havent put photos of half of the artwork and sculptures on! She went shopping and came back and told me she had bought a girraffe. I laughed for an hour when the pickup came with a 10ft metal giraffe strapped down. I dont know anyone else who would have the balls to do it but have to say it works it this situation the photos dont do it justice. The local kids all love to come around for a look! Shes been out to view a gorilla this week so I might be back next week bolting that down!!

not my bag either special branch but i can appreciate the quality of what you have done there
my only issue with haggis cut is that you cannot do cuts like that with water suppressing the dust
to my mind rodding eyes are a pointless thing anyway
if the ICs are installed correctly why would you need rodding eyes?
toot sweet all the same hagster!

We only wanted a loose African feel, If we were going for authenticity we would have dumped 40t of gritsand and a few lumps of sandstone in!! With the hard landscaping side of things she just wanted a light stone paving,not much gravel and some rustic timbers, She wanted her deck replaced with something non slip, then she sourced the artwork statues etc.

Wow that is full on!!! Congrats on getting the idea to reality for them.. I like the rope rail and the work gone in to it all but ist a wee bit busy for me too! Regarding the dry cutting issue surely a Henry Hoover will suppress the dust to safer levels if using a good quality mask

African feel makes more sense.

You could always try and sell the woman one of these to match her giraffe

York thats handy I might have to come and do a couple of days labouring for you get some tips. The biggest sett job i have done was about 50m2 and took an eternity. It was another whacky job, we did a football design and LUFC 2000 in raised setts for a Leeds fan to commemorate them getting into the champions league. If you get any leads on that quantity pink granite let us know. The chap were doing it for is in the Scrap metal business so has a few contacts in demolition. We were hoping to find some still in situe so we can check the quality, get them all from one batch and lift them ourselves. So far the only gear we have found was from a foundary and they had a lot of rust on them which we were'nt sure would come off.
