Cheers keef

A lot harder than expected TBH. 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

Got the wall part of it finished at least, pretty happy with how it turned out.

 

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

Picked our flooring today.

 

Genuine engineered hardwood planks, glued down (coz I’m a pedantic cow) and the most amazing soft pile carpet. Pretty happy.
