Looks like bomb proof construction.
Cookie, do you normally use sbr on a job like this? If so in what proportions & who's do you use?

Cheers Cookie. Do you just add sbr to the bedding mortar or apply a slurry to underside? I can imagine the slurry method slows progress. What ml do you add per mix?
4.21 am!!! Painful.

i laid some 6 sided sawn for a heritage job a few years ago but still cannot fathom why they dont make it 600 by 600, 600 by 900 etc
random lengths wtf is that all about?
I agree about bond bridges no need with 50mm slabs/flags
the only time i would use SBR is on steps or a path with a free edge

50mm slabs tony lol.63mm or 75mm unfortunataley

random lengths because the bond is always more than 150 mm

sorry meant to say 50mm plus
and as good as the cookmeister's work is, i dislike the way random yorkstone has to be laid
it displeases my eye
i laid a patio in yorkstone crazy paving at home 5 years ago and ripped it up
I guess the weird lengths is a cost saving exercise

the biggest length we get is about 1100 mm long.hard to push on the trolley
