Yesterday I was working at home. This is a useful facility from my employer whihc allows me to be at work, but also at home and so available to take delivery of, say a new patio and garden paths.
Of course, the patio and paths were delivered in kit form. That is to say a had 24 paving slabs, a 488 block pack of paving blocks, and a bulk bag (up to a tonne) of sharp sand. Amazingly the delivery was without a hitch, there were no cars in the way, and the chap from B&Q was able to drop the three packs onto my drive.
But it was time to get it all round the back of the house….
The blocks took a couple of hours to carry through the house (I didn’t want to damage any after all) with vicki helping to stack them up on the paving round the back. Most of the stack will be OK where it is throughout building the patio until they are laid.
The slabs went into the garage. no need for them for a few weeks, but it was convenient to get them delivered too!
And as for the sand…. using 2 off 22L plastic boxes i barrowed sand round the back, and then tipped it into a spare bulk bag i had acquired (thanks dad.) used planks to get up the steps around the house, but it wasn’t as bad as i thought it would be. another couple of hours work though….
So a busy day. All I need now is time to actually do something with it!
Oh, and about another 100 to 120 black paving blocks as we had a nice idea about some edging…..
