OMFG! Please bare in mind that I am in hospital and have not slept for more than 30 mins at any time over the past few days. I've been building since 15, I am 55 now but when you said you was going to sand the blocks I thought "oh yeah? that'll be interesting". 8 minutes into the vid I suddenly realized you didn't mean the kind of sanding that I was thinking of, I had to pause the vid before my belly laugh pulled some stitches. Nice work BTW so ignore the doubters.

[@tidybrickslandscaping]

@@HGarry4012 I can’t remember the make of the sealer but it’s just a paver sealer there’s lots of them on the market the bonus with ceiling the pavers are helps keep them clean mostly and also hardens the sand between the joints which will then help airborne seeds not settle.

no because that would breach a few planning laws according to SUDS and would be classed as more of a sump/silt trap as opposed to a soak-away.
