Tim. Great work as always. I vote for your next project to be the back yard porche. Seems dangerous with all that glass ready to fall at any minute now. I love your channel. Thanks for sharing
Thanks, this was filmed over a year ago, hence why porch still there. I started to take down last week, and will be finishing this week to make up a temporary structure.
Hi, this is a great way to review the work on a particular aspect you’ve tackled and I’d be happy to see many more ‘whole project’ videos if you’ve a mind to put them together? Love the path! Regards, Gerry
Yes I have a few planned, the footgae is still there and lots I never used so when I am bust on other projects I will trickle out some full build vids.
The Restoration Couple - great, I think they’ll be very well received. Sort of an index of methods that people can then go back and find the more detailed original as they want to. Did you intimate that you are sometimes not so busy ... can’t believe that ;-)
I loved this series when you first did it! Hoping to do a pathway this spring. Out of curiosity, how far did you excavate down and how thick is the foundation/mot1 layer? I didn't know if there was a general rule of thumb!
75mm minimum, basically you just need to get the topsoil off and down to the solid stuff. We did anything from 100mm to 300mm of mot1 for different areas of paths and patios, but needs to be compacted in 75mm layers.
The Restoration Couple aw nice I’m looking forward to ur vid on it👌 I also just pictured you knocking it down, a hammer in one hand and ur phone in the other responding
The existing concrete steps were primed with a cement slurry and then the flags bedded on mortar, (also backed with slurry.) before pointing like usual.
Beautiful job there man... keep up the good work... 👍😎 And... not to be that person ... but... NEVER put your hand (especially gloved) into a rotating cement mixer, a paddle grabs u & its game over... just sayin... ALWAYS safety first... (This message was brought to u by a guy with nine & a half fingers... because of my own stupidity & tiredness...and I was lucky not to lose my hand... 😔)

That is some back breaking work. Props for being able to do it.
Absolutely gorgeous! How is it holding up after 6 years? How well does this stone tolerate harsher climates (such as Ontario Canada)?
Wow that was a huge amount of back breaking work.
Superb job!
Gorgeous! Teamwork!
I was so happy to see your notification, I missed you guys!

You guys are amazing! I'm so inspired.
You did a neat job

Thank you Tim!
Outstanding the quality of your work 👏👍💪
Great work mate.
Your my hero, great work as always!
Beautiful. at the end did you use beach sand to fill in the spaces?
No it’s a resin pointing compound which sets up rock solid.
thank you .
Seen all your vids, I’d say this is your greatest success 👍 love the slight curve on the path, how did you do that..? Just by eye..?
Thanks. String line for the outer edges and the curve just by eye. Fortunately I could stand down the steps and look along it at eye level as I went.
Cracking job and finish bet your well chuffed with the end result
Great job .. what was the green wash before the sharp sand/ cement please !?
Where are the paving stones from?
looks amazing waiting for old fence to be taken down the old porch etc etc
So am I! :-)
Any recommendations on the brush-in jointing compound you used on the path?
Fast point by stonemarket. Worked great. 👌
That's how it's done!
That is beautiful.
Looks sooo good!
Very nice! 😃👏
What's stones did you use for this project? Looks great
Sandstone setts. They were from stone market.
Well done
any thoughts on when your going to tackle the back porch??
In process of doing it now, just need to make sure a temp soloution is back in place as back door not weather proof!
The Restoration Couple aw nice I’m looking forward to ur vid on it👌
I also just pictured you knocking it down, a hammer in one hand and ur phone in the other responding
Well done !!!!
Great video as always. What did you use to stick the flags to each step?
The existing concrete steps were primed with a cement slurry and then the flags bedded on mortar, (also backed with slurry.) before pointing like usual.
Perfect, thanks for the reply!
I always enjoy your video. what is the name of song from around 3:00?

This looks beautiful! I have so many questions for you but don't even know where to start.... are you available for email or a consult?
Wow... looked seriously labour intensive
Looking forward to new Van videos! Amazing work, are the new ones coming soon?
Just tying up some loose ends on the house projects and then ready for a Feb full of van!
Wow.
Look that path
Can't believe you have taken the porch down before starting this. That looks like an accident waiting to happen
This was filmed 2 years ago. Porch is no longer still up. Thanks for the concern though.
Nice walkway...although your house could sure use some TLC.
Would have been so much better to talk us through the process instead of the obnoxious music.
There is a full build series.
Too much music, everyone feels the need for a musical score, it detracts from the content, I don't mute
Just mute it. It's literally one button.
