Hi All,
What a great site,really had a good gander and filled in most of my knowledge gaps.
I have had a look for this problem, but Ive not found it yet.
I have to lay 50m2 of 300 x 300 40mm sandstone flags.
The questions are:
1, If I have teram lying around, is it going to do any good laying it on just a 6:1 base?
2, As I have to lay them individually, whats the best method for ensuring fall/level continuity over a large area? (as I cant screed)
3, Any other pointers as I start tomorrow
Thanks for looking!

use a line/and or a straight edge, terram should be under the subase,spend half a day getting your levels sorted if you rush in you'll end up ripping it up later
good luck

Thanks
I wasn't sure if it was a string line and level or if you used a boat-level after making sure your base was dead on.
The teram is just lying in the garden, I thought it might be a way of getting rid :;):

Just to let you all know I got it going.Iif it helps...this is how i did it,.. whipped off the re-coil cover and put a 19mm socket on the flywheel nut,attached drill and.....va va voom! Away she went, now starts on pull cord alone. :;):

yeah using the drill technique is a lot better than pull starting all day. i've got an old 350cc 2 stroke polaris quad that wont run will start but then over fuels the plug and back fires the exhaust off. had the carb off and to a specialist who ultrasonically cleaned it and all new floats and needle but still doing it. just haven't had the time to play with it, any ideas haha
