Great Paver Design

4 months ago

Do you make your own pavers? I have a project and am a DIY I am wondering if I should pour my pavers in place or make them in a mold, then install them. What do you think? Or if you buy them premade, where I can I buy them from?

Hi, These pavers are actually Jura Grey Limestone which we cut down to size. Each 'plank' has a concrete foundation and is then laid in a bed of mortar. The Limestone was sourced from London Stone.

hi - you might find that having ( if the budget allows ) a round moving floor area for your equipment - it can be set up so that it turns around slow enough for you to always have the best view whichever piece of equipment you are on at the time ! failing that having two or three screens for video / TV feed on different walls can help ... also hanging a tall 'standing desk' high enough for you to work on a laptop or tablet while on mini stepper can be a good idea ! plan , plan and plan again until you know everything fits and works with space around to get on and off and space for a fridge full of cold water / can / energy drinks is a great idea too ! ( and a litter bin !) add a softer rubber matted area for free weights... oh and a whiteboard is a good idea to keep track of your timings / reps etc and steps up to a lower piece of equipment ( like a rowing machine ) can double up as step area for box jumps and tread work etc ! ( if you are into cross fit ) - sorry this is a bit of a disjointed message - I'm typing (crosseyed) on a small phone !!!

No! Only watched the final episode as I wanted to see the apartment conversions, and wow what a beautiful building! The original conversions were abysmal, just like in our own property, so was watching the programme for inspiration only. However, seeing his designs, and the flashbacks from previous episodes, definitely the wrong winner!!!!

Garden design/planting help
Q

Thanks both for your replies. I was thinking that since there will be a hedge right across in bed B, that C would ideally be for plants to give some variety. More hedge = more cutting too! I will check out Instant Hedge co for the front hedge. I can't have a wall doubling as a planter due to it being a conservation area. I wanted to maximise planted area so don't want to make A smaller... the cycle box will be a secure metal one and has end access so I don't think I need to make it smaller. I might put some wooden cladding on it and a planted roof over time but my first priority is getting the layout agreed for the landscapers. I like the idea of having a central shrub but don't want anything too tall. Do you think it would look good to fill A with gravel and have a say a 50cm perimeter with 3 beds set into it? central one for a big pot with shrub and other two for low plants. Or... a 50cm gravel perimeter with a single bed set into it. Big pot in middle and planted stuff around it. Actually, that second option is probably is better than 3 separate beds..
