Yard is progressing well, and your workshop has weathered in nicely. :thumbup:

I tried a 2:1 mix of horticultural grit and/or sharp sand:cement this time rather than my usual 4:1 or 3:1 mix. It's set rock hard. We'll see how it fares. If it starts breaking-up I'll try fixing it with a coating of SBR.
