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.

"Appreciate you replying back Peter. Sounds like you've got the timing just right — partnership structure plus retirement on the horizon is perfect timing for you.
Wishing you a well-earned retirement after 45 years in the trade.
All the best, Max"

"Hi Peter,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Honestly, 45 years in this trade is something else. That's not a career, it's a craft — the kind of instinctive feel you build over decades, where you can read a bank statement and just know what a job…"

"Brian, I would not worry about the licence! Second application of iron couple of days after the first scarify. Forgot the jobs easier if you mow low immediately before the first scarification as it collects a lot of the debri and makes scarifying…"

Thank you for the advice, which was a great help. 
Would I need a sprayer license for this product? Also, how long before I should give it a second spray, please?
Thanks again

"Use pro kleen liquid iron 2.5lts diluted in a 12 lt knapsack sprayer, soak the moss. Leave for 7 days, then scarify at least twice in different directions. Then apply the liquid iron again and scarify again. The likelihood is that if it is as bad as…"
