Thanks to everyone for all your time and reasonable discussion - it makes a change - great forum

ok cheers - might be brave and re-do the whole lot cheers

its at the side with a drop of about 6 inches and 3 inches to a fence, so no problem. I plan to cover it with plastic click together tile like things from ikea, so after my attempt, is there an easy way of getting it perfect? Levelling compound?

to go on top after I repair the bad ones?

head spinning... if its not completely level - is there a levelling compound?

cheers

will need a chisel I take it to break up the few solid bits - what type?

Cheers Will give it a go

Therefore get rid of rubbish level with sharp mix building sand with cement dolopp correct?

Hi Doggit Just checking - you said mix sharp with cement before? is that because you must have one against the other to stop it moving? Just checking cos it was late you posted m8 - a few beers etc.

You mean in the mix? So how do I fix this? Thanks

not sure how to tell the difference in the sand - the bottom left one appears to be solid but the other 3 squares are just sand and a skin of hardened stuff over parts of the rest - easily broken with a light touch of a shovel

Dug the stones up this morning - looks like it was a sand and cement mix (talking like a pro now) however some areas are rock solid and others are still sand and I guess cement. Why didn't these areas go off? when you put the mix down should it be watered? I take it I need to remove the none...

forgot to say, I have a round manhole cover in the patio with concrete laid around it - now being an expert, I wondered what you call the frame you can get that you place over it and place a cut stone inside it, should it require being removed.

Thanks both - I have you both to blame ;-)

3 to 1 ratio - sand for gem or the other way?

top man

thanks Ian - ready mixed cement? what grit? what mix? Thanks
