    It is easier if you put sharp sand underneath and flags on top they will level up a lot easier then. If you mix the sand with a couple of handfuls of dry concrete mix about 1/3 -1 cement to 3 sand it will slightly harden and help with weeds. The moisture in the air will harden it. That's what i did with my shed when Mr.b said do it yourself pet-and i did!
    Ow Bob, have got the sharp sand thingy Im just sheeite at diy.

    Afternoon all!

    Hugs to Toto, i was a bit touched by the news although i never knew his music, only his wife's. Must've known it was hurting someone i knew for it to affect me a little. Why do people who have everything to live for need to take drugs? So confused?

    Went to my hen night in Liverpool, very long drive down and up Aberdeen-Liverpool but i coped, got a hire car but as they upgraded me it ended up costing me loads more in petrol than i had budgeted for. Would have been as well driving my own car!

    Had a nice weekend with the girls, and made some new friends which is always nice. The wedding will be a hoot as we all got on very well at the hen night.

    No strippers, but a few plastic willies, L plates, veils etc. Tres much fun!!!!

    Exhausted now, back to work for a rest!!!!!!!!!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    It is easy just put it down, use a long bit of wood to pull slowly towards you level with eye, put flag on top and use a rubber mallet to tamp it down, keep checking level and put sand under bits which aren't level. My dad taught me to do that and work under an engine said it would stand me in good stead! Will have a go at most things, have also put in my own kitchen- how sad am i ?
    I think he wanted all five of us to join him in a building firm-can also drive a hi mack as well-loads of fun.:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Lenny I don't understand the problem :confused: it looks fine to me.

    well certainly as good as our shed base, and that works as long as you pull the building "square" in order to get the door shut each time :rolleyes:
