That and I keep on forgetting my good camera.seanandruby wrote:i think most guys on here use mobile phones due to being out working all day. If the photos and text aren't up to standard then just imagine us up to our necks in water, mud, or shite but still dedicated enough to visit the brew cabin to offer our twopennorth. :;):

You were lucky there Paul. They are usually complete numpties. We had a lorry in too our place today delivering a container. The guy sat in his cab drinking coffee and eating sandwiches while we unloaded the can. After we had finished he asked me if there was anywhere he could park the lorry while he took a tacho break. No business needs staff like that

did you use easipoint natural on that first patio?
I find the natural colour way too grey for most sandstone
sandstone works for me,kinda buff colour
i think coursed work is the way forward,random is way too much of a ballbreaker IMHO
good stuff

Thanks LLL.
Easipoint natural on first patio, second was just 4:1 building sand cement.
Given the choice I would rather do coursed, because random is a ball breaker as you say, but if I think random will look better or if customer wants random then I will lay random. I also hate those bloody 1x1s in random patterns and idiots dancing on them asking why they're rocking.

doing some odds and sods at the minute
we took out a 1970s fake fireplace this week and found a number of artefacts that the bricklayer had built in to the voids===> as you do
firstly he signs and dates the wall
then he scribbles "standy genius at work"
he does the crossword then builds the paper into the void
various fag packets ,coke cans,rizla,mallows packets also get built in
judging by the fag packets and coke cans it took him 3 days to build (big fireplace)
kevin doyle nice job mate,if you are still with us

Finished this yesterday another garden levelling and patio job . Done a few jobs like them this year clients are trying to get more from their homes rather than move.
Before
During
After (as if that needs explaning).
I'm converted to coursed flags
House and fence getting painted next week weather permitting.
Was a few years ago but surprised the better half with a spa break a few weeks back and had a lovely view from our room of a sedum roof we installed.
Lots of hardscaping coming up and no soft scaping just what you want in the wetter months.
