driveway to 17th hundreds country house in the cotswolds our remit to use a suitable material. we chose a reclaimed granite sett cubes with varying sizes to form a bogen pattern.we used a band of 3 setts to all outsides. view to house

this gives us levels and falls for water we also place our gully pots to catch all the debris they are fitted with sludge buckets we then started from the far side working to the gate we set up our templates which i designed my self.they are better than the old way of laying. the setts are laid on a 4/1 sharp sand cement mix tapped in to level with lump hammer as you can see we have a gazebo x2 which gives us 32m2 of protection from rain and sun they are tested to 70mph winds there from poptents northern ireland.

the start f the bogens src="http://i742.photobucket.com/albums/xx67/cookiewales/sneed%20boguns/128.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 128.jpg"/> you can see the gully which is covered over to stop sand cement droping in. working under lights very good for winter work as we stay local to the project we like to work 12hours if we can except friday noon finish to head home 4 hours to york from here

moving up the driveway rain every day and wind but we love laying setts in any weather. starting to take shape now

side parking area we changed the way the bogens went looked better than trying to lay them through the band the house in sunshine .

"From articles I've read, seems that even the new vans these days often seem to need expensive repairs ..... it seems the "cleverer" they make thing now, the more there is to go wrong and the more expensive to fix. I haven't even got electric…"

"No doubt you have seen my last response, what needs to be taken into consideration is that any repairs do not make your old van worth anymore so it"s effectively dead money, but the main issue is the longer you keep the old van the less it will be…"

"I'd just keep the old van going if possible and save myself £180 a month!! If they'd be willing to take your old van as a deposit, it can't be on it's last legs? Another advantage of an older van, no worrying about dents + thieves never reckon…"
