1/32collector Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Jason that yard looks absolutely perfect. Although... no drains? (Sorry ) hi tris sorry i could not reply straight away but there was big trouble down on site, i had to go down and have strong words with the groundworks contractor i got in to do the yard . it nearly went to blows, but as i am a BIG man ( 22 stone ) the groundworks contractor backed down ( wise move ). so he will be back when the concrete drys to put in the drains and gullies that were in the quote, it just goes to show if you pay peanuts all you get is monkeys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way your explanation goes :laugh: :laugh: I didn't mean to be a party pooper, just noticed that it was a bog expanse of concrete and thus a lot of run off. I tell you what, the finish you have acheived is better than my pollyfilla finish. I may try that when I get to making a new display.
