Apologies to those that have seen this video before but, I had some copyright issues with a clip of music. With much emailing back and forth with KZfaq (who were as much help as a chocolate teapot!) I decided to just remove the clip and redo the video😡
Btw, the piece of music that was at issue was composed by a friend of mine so I had every right to use it but, another entity was claiming they owned the piece ..... I feel a bit like Ed Sheeran!!🤣🤣

Hi Just watched a few of your videos, great channel by the way. Going to lay my second patio but the first sandstone on a dry mix bed as per one of your other videos, but what pointing would you recommend for a dry mix. Thanks

Hi Brian, I tend to use an all weather jointing compound. I have been using a brand called Sika but, it takes too long to go off so I've gone back to Pavetuf Jointing Compound which seems set a bit quicker. They are expensive but, when you are a contractor you need to be able to do it in any weather. That's the benefit of using a resin based compound. Happy slabbing😁

Whats the best joint distance between indian sandstone slabs thanks

@naturalhabitatlandscaping3681 3 ай бұрын

Make sure you can get your finger between them so, about 12-15mm or in old money 1/2 inch 😁

No hardcore base before cement base ?

The area I was laying the paving on was already well compacted with a "hardpan" base so, no need for hardcore bud😉

How would those slabs hold up parking cars on it?

Hi James, they are not really for driving on. Their average thickness is between 18-25mm. Having said that, theoretically if its done right with a really well compacted sub base and a thick bed of mortar and slurry on the back of the slabs it might work🤔 .... not sure I'd chance it though!

@@naturalhabitatlandscaping3681 well this is what I'm thinking. We dug down to clay which was about 2.5 -3 ft, filled it with bricks, hardcover and type 1. Tracked it all down with the digger and been down about 10 months so we'll settled. Wouldn't be much traffic just as and when if I wanted to put a car in the garage or as extra parking.
