Faces are split while ends tops and bases are sawn so should be simple to slap them in right... nah Cuts are all very 'straight', but by no means square, level or parallel... if a rough finished block then 5-10mm here or there in the joints is nothing, with these it's a fair smack in the eye so plenty of packing, shuffling, tweaking and a lot of grunt work involved since they're up to 210kg each Lucky I don't mind hard yakka but 45deg days were no bloody joke Edited 06/01/20 04:02 AM by camo86T 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I just need to get rid of the crap I dug out, dig out the hedge, backfill to level, re-plant the hedge and fingers crossed keep them alive, additional new plants and mulch, probably some sort of feature lighting, then try to coax the lawn back to life. Then there's new sandstone letterbox pillars & garden edging elsewhere in the front yard....back yard is a different project, pics to come of that sometime as well 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine engineered hardwood planks, glued down (coz I’m a pedantic cow) and the most amazing soft pile carpet. Pretty happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
