Looks good Michael, certainly tidies up that area.

I quite like decking it has it's place when not overdone.
I have a small patch outside the patio doors as a quick fix until I get on with the Grand design. It's been down for four years now :O

Bloody lethal when wet though.

Nice work Micheal.
I had to fill my pond in because of my kids.
I used it as a foundation for a brick bbq :D

Looks good from here.what joist centers did you use, and how often did you use a noggin?
You can now get grip infills for the grooves on deckboards to stop them being slippy.

Seen these on your facebook, top class as always.

What do you use to cut your curved slabs?

Thought the blade might of been a bit big.
Don't know how some of you keep a good line with those stihls, I find the erratic engine revs make the thing hard to balance.

Top class as always Ashley.
Just out of interest, how many m2 do you manage to get down in a day laying setts?

Cheers. I try to lay around 15m2 once levels are sett.

I'd love to be doing more work with setts but people around here don't want to pay the extra.
I'm laying bendy footpaths in brick paving on a full bed with a joint and it's taking forever.
Looks good though.

you have to put yourself in the clients shoes,most people just want to drive on a driveway or sit on a patio
the work you do with setts Ashley is a statement,like a porsche boxter or a rolex watch,it oozes quality
but as we all know quality costs
that is where concrete block paving comes in :-)
