    Now, now Ste and who would cook you your lovely dinners if some patio accident happened to the delightful Mrs.Imp? [​IMG]

    I think if all the work has been done it should be you Ste watching out what Mrs.Imp's upto after all if a wife can't find DIY jobs for their hubbies to do what good are hubbies for? :D Hel.xxx.

    John, you're a cheapskate! ;) [​IMG] with your kneeling mat.

    Imp, you go out and buy her a pressure washer [​IMG] :D (they're on special offer in Wickes).

    I hope you got her a long handle for the brush so that she didn't have to bend. That way she wouldn't get tired and she could get your drinks for you [​IMG]

    Inter - your new patio is looking like it's shaping up fantastically. Great choice of stone type and it looks very neatly laid. My gosh, it even looks like you've used a spirit level! Such care and attention has always been beyond me!!!!

    Fab Job Chuck!

    When are we having the annual G.C. BBQ round at yours then?

    Wow Mrs.Imp has a mean right hander has she Ste?

    Good for her! Us girls have gotta keep you naughty boys in check somehow...maybe she would like to borrow my whip? [​IMG] :D

    Your patio is looking smashing you have done a great job which is lucky for you otherwise Mrs.Imp might just have traded you in for a newer model! :D
    Keep us updated with more pictures as you go along and I hope the weather stays nice for you. Hel.xxx.
