'Visqueen'? Are you referring to the blue tarpaulin? Nah.. that's just
keeping the rain off!

Unfortunately I don't have (m)any pictures of the 'main build' as I
was too busy with the back breaking side of the job!

You've done a good job of it...I always find it hard avoiding making a
pattern when using random shapes like this, I end up repeating the same
pattern without realising it.

I know what you mean!

I followed the 'rules' from the pavingexpert.com site, namely never
have four corners meeting and try to minimise long runs of unbroken
lines. I ended up printing/cutting out the shapes in paper and laying
them out on a plan - this worked well (apart from when the cat took an
interest) and then it was just a case of copying it out.

Even then, once I'd thought it was good to go, the guy at the builder's
merchant immediately spotted a four-corner-meet - clearly I'd got to
the stage where I couldn't see the woods for the trees! Of course,
getting rid of that 'error' without causing another one was tricky but
we managed it in the end!
