I am thinking over the pros and cons of concrete versus concrete
slabsÂ* on mortar.

The sub base is loose gravel over MOT type 1 thats been down 16
years.Â* I can use the loose gravel to make concrete with.
Obviously with sandÂ* as well


Area is 3m x 1.8m

Seems to come aout around £120 no matter which way I look -
anyone gotÂ* hard info?
Â*I've got some 2" council type paving slabs going spare but you
will haveÂ* to fetch:-)Â* (50 miles)

migt be worth it, at that...enough?

32. I can probably find a use for any leftover. You know they weigh
about 40kg each!

I need 10 if they are 600 x 900.

400 kg.

I think the freelander would just about take that.

It's probably a bit over the top, but its not a long way.


Four people in a five seater car and luggage could easily be more than
that and even a fiat 500 can cope with that.
No wonder JLR can't sell their cars.


That weight is not all at one end of the car normally though, but yes,
I'm sure a Freelander would take it.


It is slightly obetr its rated limit, but I am sure it would take it
