    Just a thought. I would have filled those holes in the concrete block below the sill with a quick-dry mortar. It looks like a place where water could accumulate and cause problems down the road.

    Great video, can't believe I've only just learnt this! I have a 450m2 gravel driveway to install. I was planning on doing a reduced level dig, installing 100mm of compacted Type 1 and then 50mm gravel on top. The cost of the muckaway and Type 1 is around £5,000. I'm now wondering if I can do this instead of the Type 1. I guess the drawback with this option is that the sub base is no longer permeable. Anyone got any thoughts or experience on this type of application?

    • @amaterasuHS
      @amaterasuHS Před 13 hodinami

      Type 1 isn't classified as permeable

    • @nkingy
      @nkingy Před 11 hodinami

      @@amaterasuHS Yea, but it is pretty much permeable isn't it. I've used Type 3 before, where the parking area was enclosed by a number of buildings, but a single track driveway, which can easily be sloped one side I'd say is fine to be done with a Type 1 sub-base.

  • @harpo7226
    @harpo7226 Před 15 hodinami

    I would have turned the Wooden blocks so that the grain was across not up and down as any water on the top will soak in faster. You could also just put a we cover on the top of the end grain. 👍

  • @pigunderaroof
    @pigunderaroof Před 20 hodinami

    I have a patio of slabs installed before I moved in. On HC then sharp sand then dabs of cement. No edging support so they move and after pointing, lasts about a year. Now I want to do it properly BUT on CZcams some are laid on sharp sand others on a bed of cement. So, still not sure what's the best method.
