    Great video! Love the update videos, the videos where it's "start to finish" are satisfying in one way but getting to see the gradual work is satisfying as well - the entire time my heart went out to Rob and John's backs 😂but they did SUCH a good job! They should be so chuffed with themselves! ♥

    Team work makes the dream work, when you finish you can be extremely proud of yourself knowing that y’all did all of the work yourself. And when family and friends come over to visit you can totally take all of the credit literally. I knew you were going to get it done and look back and smile.🙏🏾🥰💖💯💫

    Ohh. A compactor might have been a good idea. With a hardcore base and lay on concrete!! Always start to lay in line with the house. I learned all this the hard way !! But a great first attempt. Looks fab. You’ll get you a few years out of it. But next time you’ll be an expert!! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

    Seeing how difficult jobs like these can make shows why landscapers/brick layers etc charge as much as they do! We were considering a similar project in our garden with the hope to extend what is currently a paved path into a proper patio area. We had someone out and were quoted £1200 for 12 large slabs to be put in and of course all of the work that comes along with the job. Way too expensive for right now but probably a fair price with everything considered. Your hard work will all be worth it soon enough! It’s looking so good already :)

    Great work. Really want to do something similar in our garden but I just know I’ll be crippled! Although it is making me nervous seeing you and your partner using heavy machinery and lifting slabs in Crocs and Birkenstock sandals! 😬 Side note, what’s the sage green grey colour behind your sofa? It’s really nice 👌🏼

    @@ShadeShannon Thanks Shade. I've heard good things about Valspar paints, esp the colour matching they can do. FYI it wasn't a dig at all your hard work on the patio (re shoes) but I'd hate to see you getting crushed toes! You can get some reasonably priced safety shoes these days in Screwfix and the like. Hope you're getting on well with the patio! We need to do something similar and it's really daunting!
