the water tank on the wacker is a good idea, how come you not using type 1. what that builing in the distance from top, is it a water tower, looks interesting.

the water tower is my favourite building in luton
link here
developers recently tried to convert it to a 3 bed house but there were multiple issues ,needed 5 boilers,70 foot lift to living room
130 bin liners of pigeon poo,the hips on the roof are 14 metres long so scaffolding cost an arm and a leg
built in a time when appearance meant more than functionality
i live pretty close to it now and it pleases me just to look at something so grand 
the crush is type 1 but never again
every time i ring up for MOT type 1 i get the same story
"got some fantastic crush here for 1/3 the price of MOT"
and it is rarely much good
but I feel that 125mm of it wacked under a patio will be more than sufficient
no more crush unless i crush it myself

Site looks in great nick
How deep is the soakaway?
Do you always lay a membrane on top of the base?
Are you laying the paving yourself Tony or are you just putting it all together?

well for the additional cost (about £60) i feel the terram is an upgrade,not 100% necessary ,but its too late once the stone is in
soakaway is 2m cubed,so 8M3 in total (digger dug that)
and yes your truly will be laying all the flags
1 mixing and bringing mortar
1 picking and bringing slabs
and me laying
god help me if I drop a bollock
will never hear the end of it here :laugh:

i thought the tower looked interesting shame theres no pics of it on that link. why pay £60 for membrane when proberly not needed then skimp on stone getting cheaper recycled crush in. good look with laying we want plenty of pics so we can pick you up on something. like tell your labourer to wear shorts or trousers nothing embetween.

if you google " bailey hill water tower" you will find plenty dylan
MOT type 1 costs around £45 for a single tonne down here or £250 for 10 tonnes
recycled (loads coming off the motorway) is £100 for 10 tonnes
as i said i will never use it again,sick of hearing the same old stories,then it turns up so, so.
if you crush it yourself you know whats been crushed

too right. Its what i have been doing now for 7 years, and i have a stock pile of around 40 tonne back at base which is "grade a"
from the top of your job, am i right in thinking you can see your house tony?
