Just started a 100m2 patio job yesterday, using 900 x 600 calibrated sandstone, there's 3 separate areas all running into each other. Still at the prep stage at the moment, but looking forward to getting a start laying them once I've got I've got the mot whacked down

When I first started out self employed, and didn't have full weeks, I used to do landscaping with a mate to make the money up. Very physical but, enjoyable. Did a couple of weeks mid 2010 when we had the hot weather, good for getting a tan!

You can stack them over 4 crates high no probs..

it's just getting the beggars out without the crate tipping over that's the problem, they're stacked on uneven ground

What a muppet
I would try and use from both pallets to mix them up a bit:incazzato:

the mix is good in each create tommy, it's just that the top crates seem to have a bit of a list on so it's a bit of a balancing act trying to et them out without the top crate full lilting over and crashing to the ground.

sounds like a lovely job Doug bit too big for a one man lift though, watch you dont pull your back

I'm hoping these things will sort out that cricked neck I've had for 12 months:lol:, seriously though, if you lift them opposite corners they balance themselves and are easy enough to handle, it's only when you try and over-reach with them that you can do yourself damage imo
