Oh they look lovely! Really like the style of slab you've chosen too. You're doing a great job

I went from loving them to hating them then loving them again then hating them again and now I've finally decided I love them

Can't wait till it's all finished and we can really start to enjoy the garden.... if it ever stops raining

Tell me about it..... if I lined up all the kitchen units straight from against one corner they'd end up a third of the way across the room by the time they got to the other end

Nice job!

Wonky everything makes every job that much harder :/

Still, I'm sitting here with some nice cement burnt fingers and hands and my knees are weeping because I started the day in shorts and was kneeling down in the sand/cement mix. Bloomin hurts, lol.

Thanks

The slabs look a lot neater in the pic than they do in reality. They're a proper cut slab so the edges are very rough and the top, although fairly smooth, has a nice texture to it as well

The colours also vary slightly from slab to slab.

Looking good

Although bloody hard work!

WOWEE! Blooming heck you've laid a lot in a short period of time! *fnar*

Looking great! I wouldn't worry too much about gap sizes - although picky did what you did and used bits of wood to keep it even the buggers still went slightly squeewy due to their shape! Do you have the problem of weird topped slabs too (like they slant a bit so you have to lay them wonky to make the straight?) That... was annoying as hell!

Keep up the good work people

Nice work!

Who wants to see my skanky knees?

They're not looking too pretty right now so I've linked to them rather than posting the pics.
This is why I can't lay any more slabs today, I can barely bend them :/
