Whats the best way to clean the face of old concrete?
Would a screed over the top be good ,or a scabble just to dust the top layer off?

Also i have more junk in my garden I want rid of, about one pack of bricks to be precise. Would bashing these up and using for sub base, along with a bit of MOT on top be a good idea? Its only a large shed/garage.

Its just a culmination of crap over the years. The bricks are good, but farting about selling/advertising/phoning is a no-no.
The blocks and bricks are expensive, but only if you have a use for them......my priority is a shed base at the moment (and not hiring skips, buying/pouring concrete etc :D
