Dry your eyes Cookie they're minnows compared to the Caithness slabs I'm laying now. Some of the setts in the old parts of Edinburgh and Dundee can be close to that. Part of me is glad not to be dealing with them anymore it was always touch and go whether you'd be short of bigs on a run you'd started. Neat work I'd love to see some shots of it pointed. Can the silo make the slurry if so that must shift things along pretty quick.
Cheers.

Great photies - need more inspirational stuff on here - along with the usual mundane guff, when they can't be arsed to check thru the copious pages on main site.
Setts are generally so boootiful - they piss over anything else !!
