The front wall outside the property is now complete and we are focussing on getting the flagstones down behind it. All of the flagstones used here were recovered when we renovated the old part of the property. Some were on the kitchen floor, some were in the barn.
We have laid cables underneath the flagstones so that we can install some external uplighters into the flagstones. We have marked where they need to be installed and will cut holes in the flagstones once the mortar has set.
About half of the flagstones have been laid at the front of the property. The white conduit carries the cables for the external lights. The black corrugated plastic pipe is poking up through the original stone drain that we found when we demolished the barn. We are reusing it together with the cast iron grate that fits it.
The flagstones have only just be laid and no one should be standing on them. However, this doesn’t apply to Lurchers (apparently!). The tarpaulins are to protect the wet mortar from the impeding rain. It arrived about 30 mins after this photo was taken.
