How did you lay them, dot and dab or a full on concrete base?

Top job mate and nice choice of slabs. I've got a job coming up albeit smaller, I'm a patio virgin.

x2 on it. always felt dabbing is not meant for the long term. on the other side, beautiful paving! out of curiosity, how long did the job take?

[rockin' jimmy]

i only worked on it afternoons and weekends, i'm part time and finish at 12, so including lifting the old slabs and digging out the lawn round the side and that was hard as i had to dig deep enough to get a foundation, maybe about a month with help from the wife and its only the third time i've laid one hope it's the last

[rockin' jimmy]

Looks like a really good job there Mr. Jimmy..

in response to some other posts.. patios should always be laid on a full bed (Dry or wet)

dabbed will fail sooner rather than later..

That has to be one of the best paving jobs I've ever seen.
