Hi, would someone be able to check what I propose to do to see if it sounds sensible?
Three separate patios (5x3M, 2x2, 3x3). Each are bounded by timber sleepers, bedded on dry mix and pinned into the ground using sort of home made wooden road pins. The slabs are dark grey Indian sandstone. These were £16/m2, they are not great, perhaps a little too cheap.

It says calibrated, but there does seem to be some variation in thickness.
I have laid 75-100 Type 1 (having since read the site I'm not sure this was required, but done now).
I now intend to bed these on a full bed of 25-40mm moist mix 8:1 to a 1:60 fall.
I am going to lay the bed 1 slab at a time. I am going to trowel on a home made slurry using cement and SBR as described on the site. The slurry will be omitted from the 5x3 patio, as this is likely to be taken up in the medium term to make way for an extension.
I am undecided on grouting at the moment, I am researching this.
