is that lead valley going to catch the run off on that, looks like it might shoot down then keep going straight?

its a crappy detail Giles but its what the BCO wants
for some reason on lots of old terraced houses the fascia lines varied
loads of steps inside the houses from room to room
just bizarre really
had to buy a roll of code 5 lead 450 wide for that detail
ouch

Just finished a gravel driveway. Have a flick through or if someone can get the pictures up in the page I'd appreciate it.

Nice work SY that path to the door looks well solid and around bay window, nice feature.
Go back and get another photo when they have put some plants in the circles, a bit of foliage dresses things up nicely.
That gravel is it cheap your way, I always wonder as it's cheap as chips down here but other regional gravel such as Cotswold £50/T
Sorry meant to add. Photo bucket seems the way to go for adding images straight to the board. If you download the app on your phone you can take photos straight to it. No expert mind, still trying to get to grips with it myself.

Thank's lemoncurd.
I doubt that any of that will move 
I have a feeling that the footpath is going to have cars driving over it daily so I made it as strong as poss.
The Lad told me he'd give me a ring when he's sorted the plant's out. Got his patio to do next year as well.
The gravel is basic grey granite and is £50 per ton. It's nice stuff, has bit's of red and green in it. I tried convincing him to have hazelnut Tegs on the borders and planters but he liked the phot's of the last job I did so he stuck with greys.
I tried Photo bucket but had the same problem. Only links came up. I go through about 5 phones a year so I'm not getting another smartphone :laugh:

I go to the Gower most weekends and a lot of the farms leave their wares on a table by the side of the road usually accompanied by a shifty eyed sheep dog. Made the mistake of (accidentally by the way) walking away without paying the honesty box, wow could that dog bark, hasty retreat to honesty box and a bonio for the dog.
What are them weinbuggers are they clay? Looks like a lot of fiddly corners there, look forward to see the finished job.
