We told him that we were from Lincoln where we had a cathederal that was started in 1052(ish) and finished in 1120(ish) 'Oh' he replied...

I do hope that you are paying overtime rates!

Paving and walling look good,that surplus KDS on the surface will soon settle...it's keeping the pesky weeds out of the tiny gap between blocks that will test your patience!

When, in 1966, I started my apprenticeship with BEA, 2 weeks short of my 17th birthday, my first year pay was £5.10.0/week of which £3 went on my 'digs' this meant that my 'pocket money' was about the same as I had been earning from my three part-time jobs!

I'm imppressed with your work! However,I would suggest that you break those bricks up into smaller pieces...the theory is that the smaller the hardcore content,the less likelyhood of the substrate holding gaps that will cause the top surface to fail.

Look forward to seeing how this works.
