I'm the gaffer's assistant when it comes to DIY. P does things 'properly', I tend to botch (I come from a long line of botchers, father was a master).
I wanted a hard standing outside the gh and my idea was to just plonk some slabs down on the soil, hope for the best and live with the resultant slopes/unevenness, but no, P said the area had to be levelled and blocks bought to support the slabs to make the area level, and I must admit the result was far better than I would have achieved. Ages ago we laid a patio outside our summer house, we were much younger then!
