  1. Is there a major reason why you need to lift the old concrete out:confused1:
  2. Wi hi silky me canny lad. Y looks bit pueky. We're are your England flip-flops? Thought you would have a pair sort'd ? Any ways like you am settling down for the footy I might fall asleep as bit late for me am Usely in bed with my tree books by 9.
  3. As above, it makes the job so very much easier just to stagger new posts in between old concrete. I guess your only issue would be if the old concrete is raised and preventing you fitting new panels level or if putting in gravel boards you would just need to cross cut top of concrete with a diamond blade disc cutter and chip away amount of concrete required to fit new panels and or gravel boards level.
  4. Barry you already have your building sand so what you need now is sharp sand at a ratio of 1 part building sand to 3 parts sharp and a good 1 part cement ( add water)with a good squeeze of fairy to make it more smooth to use. Point up as you go and after you have laid 3sq mtrs the first sq mtr will have just started to go of so you can point up without making a mess. Trust me I have been doing this type of work since 1979 and have try'd every combination going and the one above is the best. Just don't skimp on the cement.
  5. Ya I'll put it down to a bit of sun stroke:blushing:
  6. Yep.have sussed that now. I looked at your location:confused1:

  16. You had tea !!! Anyway was nice catch up and meet you all and maybe do it again September at. The A P F?
  17. No worries silk you can drop by for a coffee anytime and remember a coffee does't have to be caff to taste nice de-caff ok. And thanks for taking the pic of me and getting my big nose just right. Anyway was nice to meet yourself,mr logs,mr git and not forgetting mr slack. A whole new load of mr men. Catch up at the A.P. F if you can make it there is camping this year £20 for the Friday and I,ll make sure we have some nice caff coffee.
  18. It does work but only if done in a tasteful way. I have the canopy on my single cab ranger done both sides and had it done in a business card kind of way. As I do both landscapeing and tree work I had two seperate sections done and I have had loads of work from it were people have seen it parked up or just at traffic lights etc. Well worth the out lay but paid no were near £2'000 for it. Would think along the lines of lettering in a nice layout and avoid the wrap picture type thing it's what the travellers have on there trucks around my area and looks really cheesy. Just my opinion.
  19. No but like you just want,d to know and get info on them. They are getting a good name though and I even like the colour. May be when I change I might think about it if for no or their reason there people were very nice and really helpful without being pushy.
  20. Contact Ingrid hooper at redwood globall she will send you a info pack. Very helpful. Tel: 01794 329080:thumbup:
  21. Nice one and very good of you to do that and a great idea. I'll be there and buy you a beer or just give you a can of your own supply:thumbup:
