    Old job - Geometric Path

    About 17 years ago my son and I did this. We dug up the path, relaid and built a hardstand at the side. We were passing this job just last week and I told him to go and see how it was, take a photo if it was still ok and run if not!;) It was one of our first joint ventures.
