Wot stuff did yet get in the end? Eye is still eyeing it up but eye is lookin ter get jointing sand which is basically kiln dried sand wuvva compound to make it go ard and a few uvva chemicals. The betterer stuff is said not to stain the slabs like cenent products wood.
Should mention that as the stuff is so feck off stupid expensive, where the gap between the slabs is wider or deeper, or both, I fill it partially with fine ornery builders sand well tamped down, then finish it off with the jointing stuff. So far it is going quite a long way. I'd hate to have to buy another bag just to do a coupla slabs!:eek:
 
I'm lookin to do me block paved drive wivvit to stop weeds growing and ants pullin oot the sand below the bricks. Yer have ter get the weed roots oot anorl before puttin stuff in. Me blocks are close together so kiln dried sand is normally used as the gap is very narrow. Eye made the mistake of cleaning oot the moss from the v shape in the blocks above the gaps. Weeds then gorrin. This year has now seen far more weeds than normal. Probably 4 times past years. Eye have only known about the jointing sand ferra few weeks. Ma hoppo has made the drive uneven so eye has gorra lift some bricks and level them first.
Looks like you will have a long job gettin rid of all the weeds first then. Right pain. Get the stuff with weed killer in it, and or put bleach down first to kill the sods!
 
Afternoon folks:).

Well its been a bit overcast today, It was nice for working outside:).
Even pulled the cover over the pool after my afternoon dip, it felt warmer cos the outside temps are lower:).
Now its raining, again:(. More water in the pool which we don't need, I was hoping for some evaporation. Let see how it goes don't really want to pump any out and add salt if I can help it (do we Stan:)) cos I don't have any sacks and that would mean a trip to the big boy town and as M is in the UK not sure I am allowed on my own:p.
Besides I haven't driven a vehicle since Monday, I am environmental me:), ok I did fire up the lawnmower;)

Ms Mum got a call last night from Doc after her scan (PET) they want her in the ward, Ok says M. "Sorry no bed available"o_O. Anyway they found 1 so M took her at 8pm last night:mad:.

Feel like having a rant but wont. I will say its a sad place when somebody who has worked and paid cant get the attention they were promised, when others get it for nothing:mad:. Sorry that was a little rant wasn't it:eek:.
