Think am guna go with the one blob on each end and one in middle cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks pukka that my lad is that Indian sand stone Danny. It's not coming up in top corner when folk have sent a comment on my posts strange. I only knew that you'd sent this comment through coming on the post. Does it do that to you sometimes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bangersanmash 2,372 Posted June 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 I had trouble using the 15lb maul hammer . A broke about 6 flags a can laugh now but at the time . I'd got them looking cush but me being me thought a couple was just not right like you do. An these slabs aren't like the council ones ffs am laughing now. A starts to bray them like you would them big old council lumps and broke them clean in half. Even tapping a few with that they couldn't stand it. So ad payed 30 bar for sumat a didn't need 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel cain 42,846 Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 I'd use one of them for laying kerbs.... Bit overkill for a slabstandard rubber mallet.... Under a tenner... Maybe the sites playing up again in regards to notifications? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
