How nice is work being congratulations greetings from san felipe chile
Looks fantastic, one quick question, why did you need to use the angle grinder a couple of times ?
Great observation, the extensi was out of square to the house and the brick coins of the main structure was all over the place so I at to just take the end s off between where two of the slabs meet up by 1.5 mm approx over .600mm to maintain a 4mm joint.
Hi Johnnyboy, are you now using the semi dry methord for any reason in particular or is it simply because your awaiting your new mixer? How are you finding it compared to your normal mix. As being in the trade we get so ingrained in our working methordd we never changed them until we are forced and we then find it quicker or easily straight away. I guess never be scared to try different ways as no matter how long you have been in the trade there is many ways to do the same thing. Love all you do 😀👍👍👍
@@GreentopLandscapes Thank you Jonny for explaining that mate
What’s your ratio please? I see you have a wheelbarrow full of sand and then how much cement? Thanks 😊
5 sharp 1 cement nice and moist but not sopping wet
I’m confused, usually you lay porcelain on a wet bed but this is on a dry bed, why the change ?
Its a Semi dry, it can be done this way as well, dont be confused, there are many ways to skin a cat as they say.
Hi jonny.luv ur work.professionals are just that for a reason.so watching this job im assuming that if its just for pedestrian traffic a dry screed mix is ample to lay the slabs on especially if they are a decent thickness.is 4 to 1 a reasonable ratio.thanks.
Hi Paul mate try 5 to 1 all sharp mate
Looking great johnboy been a bit apprehensive about taking porcelain jobs on cos off the cuts cos seen boys using sthil saws n cuts look rough, would love a rubi like urs but too expensive just now . If you've time next week need advice on matching in and joining astrograss regarding how u join 2 pieces together without it looking rough. Cheers pal👍🏴
Thanks 👍 lets talk bud
Hi. Could u please share the brand of your slurry mix and cement? I assume the cement is just a regular portland cement? Thank you.
Hi John, its Easy Prime from Azpects, not sure whats in it to be honest, but its better when I make my own lol
Another great job lads and great seeing in time lapse.
Glad you enjoyed it, Cheers Kev
Hi Johnny boy, generally what size joint do you use for a 600x600 tile?
Hi Dodgy Dave, I am doing a 3mm joint now
Lots of this go against your previous best advice
Well Simon we can use other methods mate, always happy to discuss with you bud, stay safe
Hi Jonny
Having to stop cowboy builders in my garden I’m now faced with the prospect of completing the project myself as all good contractors are so busy, can you advise - when setting the fall of the patio what minimum depth of mortar should I aim for, ( at the thin edge of the wedge) above the sub base? I’m laying 20mm porcelain.
Thank you
so sorry to hear Neil, I would have the mortar bed no more than 50mm
@@GreentopLandscapes Thank you for the reply Jonny, not everyone is a professional out there! Your videos and advice are giving me the inspiration & courage to have a go. 👍
what's the dry mix you use mate, currently doing my own with a wet mix but takes forever as its my 1st attempt in my own and on my own
Amazing time laps, I love your videos. Do you add any FEB or SBR to your screed mix?
Thanks Jan, not in a screed mix but in a wet mix if that makes sense, stay safe
Coming together nicely not seen you lay on mix like that all most looked like dry mix ?
Hi danny mate its a semi dry and it can be done as long as it is carried out right, infact its stronger as it as less water in it, be safe mate.
Hey Jonny it’s Adam here, what supplier do you use for those slabs?
Hi Adam, in this case it was Cardiff slate and Stone mate
Hi, do you ever lay a plastic dpm type sheet ontop of the hardcore on any rear garden jobs you do?
i never do this in this situation but this was discussed at a meeting at Bal Adhesives last year.
What are thsoes bell wheelbarrows like mate?? Wanna know if you think they worth the 120 odd pound
Worth ever dam penny
As Paul says Jordan, I have not bought a wheel barrow since I got these and thats some time now.
Hi what is the advantages of a slurry mix? Could you not lay porcelain tiles on a regular 6-1 mix ? Also what do you brush onto the tile adhesive or muck?
Thanks great work by the way I am a landscaper myself
Hey Jonny
1 cement , 5 sharp sand , any water ? or maybe no water at all ?
Hi Derek, depending on the time of year the Moisture in the sand is enough.
Hi can I ask why your hand mixing? Thanks
Hi, when mixing a screed in a a mixer you can get segregation thats cement seperation from the sand so buy hand ensures its perfect unless you buy a paddle mixer which will ensure this does not happen.
I've done abit...nice to see how the pros do it..so laid on a semi dry mix with buttering the slabs with a slurry mix??? Always u do a great job x
thanks Liam mate, always slurry now with every thing unless they are big thick units, be safe mate
Is this a good way to lay in cold conditions?cheers
Ignore my post johnny as should have read the other posts. Lol
no worries mate
Great tips, love your videos. First timer with a patio. For the dry mix, do you use any water? Is it easier to do than a wet mix for a beginner?Thanks 🙏
Hi Scott, thank you. Use some water as it won’t set but just nice and damp
Looks fantastic fellas, great job👍🏽
Thanks 👍 thats kind of you
what's the mix you have used? Ratio's?
5 sharp 1 cement
Great looking patio, what was the base level and the top mix made up of?
I was wondering same, is it on a hardcore base?
@@richardwalker6417 earth is the base lol
@@Entrepreneurusa funny😕😕, re-word it keep you happy. What was the substrate you used on top of the earth?
Jonny, great videos, can you lay porcelain tiles with a semi wet 4:1 mix, also covering the tile with slurry?
do 5:1 all sharp mate
Great advice as usual. I’ve got some staining on sawn sandstone I recently laid (first attempt - my own garden of course!) that I’ve not been able to budge. Any help would be well received.
send some pics Micheal
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
good video and great looking tiles. where did you source these from and are they available in a buff colour? another question are they slippery while wet?
They have an R11 rating and they were from Cardiff Slate & Stone
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure
Why you mixing with your hand instead of the mixer you got 👍👍👍❤️
Because I can its just another method, and when done right its quicker and just affective.
Maybe do a comparison on semi dry vs wet mix in coming weeks pal?
Good Idea
Many ways to lay the Porcelain JB a dry mix on this occasion .. as always with yourself an excellent job done .. if I keep watching and learning from you I may start up doing it myself.
Thank you! Cheers! Thats funny , give it a go mate.
Any agreggate to mix ?
Thanks
Oof what my friend
