Hope your cement bed is thick enough 😂😂😂
That part was yeh cost me a fortune 👍🏴
Hi mate
Great vids and content but with these clips do u not feel they lift the slab off the bed in corners causing a void ?
Absolutely not that’s one thing they don’t do is lift the tile is just too heavy when it’s glued to the cement clips only useful locking in position 👍🏴
What size are those joints using the levelling system? And what tile spacers are you using? Great work btw!
Up to 26mm for exterior tiles and the spacers are 5mm and thanks for watching 👍🏴
Brilliant tips. Have a great new year. Cheers for the Moasure review of the telescopic holder. Think it was me you mentioned in that video as I had bought one on the strength of your moasure vid. Great work pal.
I believe it was you yes 👍 when your planning on using the moasure make sure you charge the night before battery can run low unexpectedly 👍🏴
How do you get the clips off?
Kick em off Simple’s 👍🏴
Hi, What’s the best way and product to stick 20mm porcelain (600mm x 600mm) slabs to a dwarf patio wall?
I’d just use the primer I use to slick em down normally as long as you have a flat surface. Or prime the wall and tile and use a little cement between like a sandwich then apply 👍🏴
Бачу ви ще також молотком гумовим користуєтеся.
Зараз багато вже віброприсосками ЗАМІСТЬ молотка.
Вага вашого молотка яка? 500 грам?
Ось думаю купити молоток гумовий raimondi 500 gr.
Only ever used a mallet it’s not the biggest I agree but it’s got lead weights under the rubber don’t know how heavy it is sorry 👍🏴
I see you struggling with your spacers. Why not use a 5mm wide levelling base with your caps to eliminate the need for spacers altogether?
Yeh those spacers were crap didn’t really need the, 👍🏴
Enjoying the videos. Keep it up 👍
In weather like this you earn your money.
Unless it gets to cold especially below 3 degrees then cement won’t go off properly 👍🏴
So can you still mess up and not get level with this system?
Reason I ask is because you didn't tap the corner down (that you were hitting into)
From here that corner looks a lot higher?
I’ll have to check later 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping thanks mate! All positive not a dig btw, just going to tackle my own soon and trying to get as much info as I can from your videos before I do it
Well lad another year over"thanks be "🤞 better one
Hope you had a good Christmas and new year,
Thanks for your hard work and info during the year 👍
Looking forward to seeing the driveway finished
yep another year bites the dust and another year designing projects seems to go round and round and round. thanks for watching 👍🏴
Great work
Do yourself s favour and purchase a grabo, believe me you won't look back.
Funny you mention that grabo are sending me 2 in the post has just paid it online !!! Well timed message 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping great, save your fingers from pain and slurry mix.
Also, it allows you to adjust the slabs around.
Great for stacking slabs and so on.
I use it for all sorts, lifting plaster board, concrete blocks, OSB board.
Good luck.
I'm doing same as you at moment, but 32mm limestone driveway paving on full bed and on top a concrete slab, bomb proof.
Cheers fella
@@ivegotaporscheandalambo3318 do they give you something to put it in ? Bag or box
I’ve just got home found 2 of them in a box outside the door opened it up took one out looked round to see what I can pick up saw my iPad tried that fucked my screen up 😂 !!!!
@@tidybrickslandscaping haha, that'll teach you.
Honestly, they great.
Stick to wall and pull yerself up
Just keep em clean at end of day.
Good luck
I bet tilers tools have sold a lot of these. I bought a kit on your recommendation. About to start using them At first I thought that they doubled as spacers, but I see you use spacers as well. Is that necessary? Also what width spacers do you use?
I think they’ve done quite well out of me actually I need to get them to organise a promo code for my videos and yes I use 5 mm spaces also 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping 😊👍
Raimondi do not make 5mm spacers for the spin caps ...You must be using 1-3mm spacers with the spin caps...I suppose that is why you are using 5mm cross spacers for the joint....mmmmmm misleading title of video for everyone watching
I didn’t need a spacers as the vite clips I was using were worked as a 5mm spacer anyways naturally
Hi Guys, great videos. I see in this one your laying onto approximately 2 inches of mortar. Do you put any additives in it to give it more flexibility / weather proofing?
No I just use a squirted fairy liquid that’s my plasticiser it’s as good as anything else on the market. It’s the old school way of doing things and has never failed yet I’ve been building walls with fairy liquid in the cement for 30+ years I’m nothing is ever fallen down 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping thanks mate!
But Febs cheaper lol and chemically proven
How do you pull those clips out if the cement has hardened?
They snap out leaving a piece under the tiles and then grout as usual 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping Thanks I appreciate your response 👍
@@thomaswright2614 here to help 👍🏴
When’s the vlog on the drive coming out ?
Couple of weeks time I’ve got a lot of detail work to do yet Gold tight my friend 👍🏴
alway great advice thanks mate
I hope some of that information helps 👍🏴
I meant drive way part 3
I do have part 3 done already I’m working on part 4 atm
When I used these, I tried to remove them and they all broke at the level of the tile so I had plastic in the grout space. I ended up having to use a heat gun to melt the plastic!! How do get them to snap below the tile?
You need to make sure your buying the right ones these are for depths of 14/26mm there’s is another size 3/15mm maybe you’ve got the smaller ones 👍🏴
Non vabene
What’s not good me or the camera
Brilliant Invention
Handy little tool 👍🏴
Seems like a waste of time to me , to much fafing around
It is a lot of fafing round yes but does come in handy you could actually walk over it after a couple of hours as it all becomes one 👍🏴
you finished this yet scott ffs? :)
Tell me about it the weathers been horrible days off left right and centre but I’m on the home straight just the entrance pattern to go 👍🏴 Greek key starting monday
I can say it looks lush !!!! Water direction 👌
@@tidybrickslandscaping i dont doubt you for one minute lad. look forward to seeing it.
Love your videos bud. Local groundworker from Somerset. We also use fairy liquid for Feb, as I've seen in previous videos. Works wonders!! Was just wondering where you purchased that rubber mallet from. Looks good? 👍
Good old fairy much better than FEB I hate that stuff and as for the mallet I’ve got no idea a landscaper friend of mine gave it to me for a favour 👍🏴
th-cam.com/video/nA2uS4ndzH8/w-d-xo.html
Looks something like these.
For the small cost of these and minute or so extra laying time per slab then to me they are worthwhile.
It’s like a fail safe accidents do happen people do walk on things they shouldn’t of. 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping totally agree 👍
Full mixer load under a tile lol.
Yeh wish I had a bit more concrete under it but better to much than to little I guess 👍🏴
Isn’t it a slab layers no no, 4 corners meeting?
Yes no cross joints as I call it, years ago I didn’t know about that but now I try my best never to do it. Why’s that 👍🏴
Unless there’s a expansion joint
Craftsmanship.
We aim to please 👍🏴
No more than 30 mm for mortar
Don’t forget there 150/200mm concrete underneath it so it’s not going anywhere 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping how big of a bed is that tho that must be more than 100 of mortar
@@owenbooth6891 I think it’s about 90mm but only in that last section I underestimated the concrete. I wanted to bet lower than higher just in case. The hardcore and concrete is almost 450mm then the cement and tile so it’s over 500mm. It’s. it going anywhere just costing more on materials no problem 👍🏴
Great work may I ask what mallet your using please.
Just a rubber paving mallet I can’t remove the make of the one I’m using it was a gift 👍🏴
