Day 2

Consolidated sub base

The 450x450 Tobermore Mayfair silver patio paving slabs are walked through the passive house and loaded out on the edge of the proposed garden patio area.

The pins and string lines are installed to the correct heights, falls and levels for water runoff.

Full paving mortar beds

The patio paving slabs are laid of a full bed of mortar, we never use the 5 spot system as this will lead to problems later as this procedure is unprofessional and not durable.

10mm paving spacers

All paving stones and spaced with a 10mm wooden spacer, this ensures the perfect sized spacing that I require for this project.

Level paving

The entire paving is completely level, you wouldn't want your glass of wine sliding off your patio table now would you?, every paving installed is leveled with a spirit level and not by eye.

Slight fall on paving for water runoff

For this project the slightest fall on the paving is required, this assists with the runoff of rain water into the soft landscaping.

Patio paving Devon

The entire paving is scrubbed and hosed down with clean water ready for the pointing compound.

THIS PROJECT IS ON GOING, PLEASE RETURN SOON TO VIEW DAILY PROGRESS.

"Thanks for that, I tend to keep my vans a long time- I've had two in twenty years, hence the question - I don't buy vans very often! "

"I am no expert on tax matters but from what I believe if the van is used 100% for business use then yes all £180 can be put down . Say 50% of the time its for personal use then £90 can be claimed for . What sort of van are you looking at ?"
