    Where can I buy some Reasonably priced Decent work gloves?

    Yeah I'm not looking for the bulky ones either.. those suck big time, however so does suck those cheap 70p nitrile gloves! The ones in my pictures, if decently made aren't bulky and are much comfortable than your 70p ones as well.

    Where can I buy some Reasonably priced Decent work gloves?

    yeah that's the thing, If I had to pay that much for a pair of gloves I wouldn't use them as well- but that beats their purpose.

    Restoring Patio/bricks - Anything can be done about this? Pics.

    I would love to just buy some new good looking sandstone paving and replace everything, but... due to 70m2 area that needs doing I feel like this would take me way too much time and effort and I would probably break my back from lifting all that as it's a huge area which wraps around all house...
