Nice clean site,no damage ,good sweat on and good edges on the trench I like to use a digger when I can but it's good for soul to have a day or two on the old banjo.

I was knocking on the door to get power and a neighbour came across to tell me that sadly the lady had passed away over xmas

I asked had mrs X managed to use her new front door and ramp?
to which the neighbour replied " just the once ,on the stretcher"

even though we only met her for a week or so its sad that she waited so long for something then never got the use of it
LLL :(
im quoting on a dda compliant ramp for a doctors surgery, 16m in length 2+/- fall got the spec etc for rest and 1:20 but i was going to do brushed concrete, do you feel it easier to do textured slabs or is that your spec? this will be heavily trafficed and salted a lot in winter, grim up north.

was going to spec ronagrip as an option as well, who do you use for your railings, found a few online for dda compliant railings but wondered if you had a recommendation.

dont forget minimum fall is 1:12 but there must be a 1200 by 1200 flat rest spot at least every 5 metres

cheers haggi the adhesive is just cement and sbr with a taste of water to get the consistency close to tiling adhesive. It's just to hold the coping in place the rest of the wall is interlocking and dry laid. The bond you get with that stuff is extremely strong and the block is likely to break before it lets go and it retains a certain amount of flex.
