[Giles]

Any way to get it up there on the train or was/is it just being tracked all the way?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

My ocd just exploded on those joint lines not meeting

I’d have laid a 600mm full width strip on the 45 angle to hide that transition

So did mine ! I couldn’t have looked at that forever more without it driving me mad . I didn’t have the cheek though to be the first to put the boot into bobs hard work

I don’t have OCD but it hurt my eyes. My reaction was WTF!!

 

[Giles]

All it needs is same sizes on corners then inboard cut from the joint, so 2x 900x600 45 degree cut them then 600x600 etc then re-establish brick bond with a easy square cut etc

Builders doing paving, to be fair my dads a builder and does similar but would never dream of it inside on tiled floor etc, best leave it to the Groundworkers next time

 

[Giles]

On the subject of paving we’ve just pointed all this up with flow point liquid screed, very happy with it and now will be our go to.

Proper cement joints not like the sand resin polymerics that go green and then can pop out. Setts eat it up at £15 a bag getting about 1.5m2 per bag but we had to Match existing which had huge joints.

Glad I'm not the only one that instantly thought that.

Today we were been critical over losing 10mm on a 58m run of 600x600 concrete flags. I had to say to lad, don't worry about it. Hence why I've found this lad 3 years solid work but others don't even get to 3rd day.

That’s 1 in 5800 if hes working to that kind of accuracy he’s well worth keeping hold off

No we just use the thicker bit out the bucket when it’s started to set up a bit, have a bit of time going rd doing edges

He is, he's annoyingly accurate sometimes and takes too long but I'd rather that than him knock days or just say fcuk it, it'll be right.
