show winner that mick
i like the neatness of your tight radius internal arcs in the paving but i note that the bullnose units have been left square at the back
any particular reason for that?
pictures 1 and 2 how the heck did you get those curves so neat?
was it flag then setts ,or visa versa?
if you dont get a new pick up out of that there isnt a god
btw what is the king size?
1200 by 900?
cheers LLL

yeah the stone was that hard its like cutting steel with the amount of sparks, that was just to cut the angles on each side of the bull nose step units to start re shaping the stone was discussed but the customer was happy with the end result

750 x 750 x 30mm
750 x 1000 x 30mm
750 x 1250 x 30mm
the large one is 78kg and is a 4 man lift, how do you get 4 men round a flag to lay it

I would love to see the installation detail, as i am struggling to work out the order it all went in
rest assured mick i wont/cant be copying that :;):
is 78kg not a 2 man lift?
what did you point with?
not a crisp packet or radio in site
lastly when are they cutting those leyllandi down?
wouldnt want all that stuff on that picture perfect patio

not when its 25 kg's per man ?
weatherpoint 365
not a blade of grass out of place either
the hedge has been lowered 3 ft last year, would cost way to much to remove all the hedge plus part of the garden is 5 ft higher than the other gardens adjacent
i will tell you the installation detail over a pint some time

Its an amazing piece of work and will defo be gracing the marshalls 2014 brochure
I'm going to get mullered now but here goes. The curves on the sett detail, brick walls and steps are awesome, but the fact that they are so good, makes the straight coping stones stand out a little.
To follow the curve of the wall so closely with a straight coping stones is top cutting, but I would have considered templating the wall and getting the coping stones cut to follow exactly the sweeping curve of the brick walls and adjoining edge detail. Only a suggestion though, job is amazing
