Hello everyone.

I have recentley bought a house with the intention of developing it to make a profit. The problem is that it needs a fair bit of work and also a block paved drive.

I am already a chippie and have recentley finished a plastering course so the interior is more or less sorted.

My queerie is regarding courses on block paving. Is anyone familiar with these or is it just get stuck in and have a go?

I have read the tutorials but I learn a lot quicker with hands on experience.

Many thanks, Adam.

I have a meeting next week and hope to be able to say more about genuine block paving courses shortly thereafter. There's an outside chance your local college runs a basic course, but if it does, it's likely to be very, very basic. Still better than nowt, though....usually!

Thanks tony.

Yes my college does do one but it is only for a day and you cant learn all that in a day!

So are you hoping to set up some kind of paving expert course then?

Me lips are sealed! As I said, the meeting next week will do much to determine which path I follow (no pun intended), either to throw in my lot with an existing crowd or to work with a number of others in the industry to provide and independent curriculum that would cover block paving, flagging, kerbing, and much more.
