I just want to say thank y’all for the videos I layer a porcelain patio with a 3-1 mix and made a slurry mix with a concrete bonding agent mixed with straight Portland. Mainly because they don’t sell that I’ve ever seen paver primer. It worked very well. I would like to post a picture on your comments to see what you think about it. Thank you again sir

Hi TB! At 29:50 "Can't tuck one there as it's dry from yesterday". I'm using the Vite system on the project I'm doing at the moment and what I've started doing is leaving a 20+ mm slot under the tile on the exposed sides empty if that makes sense. I lay the concrete bed and tile as you do and then clean out the slot on the two exposed edges with the trowel. Then when I put an adjacent tile in I push the new concrete under the already laid tiles in the gap I've left. That means that I can always put in the white clips even under tiles I laid a day or two ago.The concrete is also interlocked which might help but not sure.

[@tidybrickslandscaping]

Very good point I should try that next time hoping I remember thou 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Can those slabs be placed over brick pavers ? Or is it better to remove it all then install. Here in florida the dirt is quite fine and moist

My daughter wants me to start on her small patio area with porcelain tiles however she has a step erecting that needs building up. Do I do the steps first or the garden patio first then the steps? Any videos on this Thank you again xxx

[@tidybrickslandscaping]

I’d say build the patio first and build as close as you can to the step then go from there as for design . Most likely less cutting as you can build to the size patio you’ve done up to tiles you stopped of at 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Loved the video. Laying 36sqm of porcelain this week. With the dead man slab, how long do you have before the mortar underneath starts to set? Do you use any plasticiser in your mix?

Hi Mate love the vids, quick question for you, what's you're thoughts with laying porcelain slabs with building sand ?

You could if you wanted it would still stick but not the type sand particles you want as building sand is more Circular and better used by bricklayers sharp sand is more angular and locks better so they say who ever they are ?? 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Never heard of Soakaways, are those special to the soil conditons in the UK?
