oh well it must be right then :roll: you do it your way and any cowboy paver that wants to do it can do it that way as well

spain looked crap, as did brazil. germany looked awesome. cracking match last night between uruguay and ghana

100mm conc slab will be fine

njo. wood will do what it wants

as long as its totally soaked thats all that matters, quicker to deluge it with a hose. you are trying to get the roots wet. the trouble with a sprinkler is people se the top wet and assume the roots are too.

no because block paving is a flexible paving and therefore any firm type of pointing will not work, which is why sand and only sand is used for the jointing, and that acts as locking mechanism on the blocks when it is vibrated in, which achieves a total fill of the gaps, after several...
