How much is it gonna cost to do all that in easipoint
How wide are your joints

by the time i do the double course of setts about £250-300 for easipoint and a day for 2 men so another £300
this has all been factored in to the price so its no problem
joints vary from 8-25mm :O
we use lines on both the X and the Y axis with a 1:60 fall and a gauge rod, but as i am sure anyone who has laid injun stone random knows tht is is impossible to achieve 10 mm joints to to inaccurate sizing,especially of my pet hate the small units :;):
i tried to talk the client in to having coursed work but to no avail

that look good dan. What did you say was that grouting? is it as good as romex?

Tony, how did you get on managing the joint widths with the smaller size stones? how were the slabs in general to lay. it looks like a lovely surface

Cheers flow, nice job shame about the colour im more of an autumn brown guy and thats more like raj purple/yellow lol.

Dan its the gftk vdw 800, two part epoxy from ncc streetscape ive never used anything like that before and to me it seems fantastic, i wouldnt know about romex ive never used it pal.

fantastic work dan
very neat cutting round the inset cover
the slabs were fine on the whole dan ,we just set up datums and moved the line across 290ish mm at a time
i think with random you will always get a disparity with joint sizes,coursed is the way forward
and yes lee it is the gaffer's design when its done i will post the design and the finished job
cheers LLL

ps DNG what a shame to have that rotary washing plug in the paving,it doesn't ruin it but surely they could have moved it in to the grass?
LLL ???

yes it is a shame, but the whole reason for that circle is so that she can peg her washing out and not have to walk on the grass :)
