had some stone flagging laid down this last couple of days - the builder's removed the old concrete flags and has placed all 10 of them leaning at a slight angle against a brick wall of the house just under the window of what is a garage conversion (brickwork is about 2 yrs old or bit less). only one of the flags (in fact, just the edge of it) is actually touching the wall.
he'll move them in about a month or so (long story), but meanwhile is it safe for these concrete flags (they're the 900 by 600 bog standard kind) to be leaning against the house?

yes lol but he could of stacked them in a corner out of the way, and dont worry they will not push your house over unless you live in a cardboard box

flags are supposed to be laid flat in like a crisscross pattern
but those flags are unlikely to push your house over
why leave for a month? get them moved now

erm yes he's only left them there cos he's too lazy to move them anywhere else. not worried about house getting pushed over. just worried about damp etc if we get a freak snow...
can't move them now cos of holidays etc.

I did laugh a little
Go lean them on his front door or put them on freecycle for collection only

Just to be sure, check the front gable of the house with a spirit level over the next few weeks
