« on: March 11, 2007, 10:24:19 PM »
I have never done this before but tell me what you think

first day dug out to 6" then concretes second day , what they call spot and dotted ( apparently ) and then laid the slabs...

I think it's a difficult job without a 'whacker' to compact the ground, looks good to me though  :icon_thumright:

Got to agree with Andy, picture crap but it does look ok buddy :icon_thumright:

we call it dott and dab pal, little tip if its not too late is to prep several flags dot dab 5 point? now once you have positioned em, a good solid length of timber say 4x4.

lay it across all the slabs and gentle tap checking with a level.. :icon_thumright:
