Painful!
After the rain finally stopped I managed to make a start on these.



Only managed this much after 3.5 hours, although I am mixing by hand.

Massive respect for all you stone/large format chaps that do this kind of lifting day in day out.

More tomorrow, if I can get out of bed.

No SBR in the mix?

Not in the mortar mix itself, priming each piece with prime plus grip.

Do you think it best to add some?

Do you think it best to add some?

I always do. It's like adding polymer to tile adhesive I'm told.
Basic but helps with water, frost, bond, bit of flexibility...
