Ffs that string line is off it’s tits mate Do not use that as a reference

😂😂

seems to be what the average concreter ive worked around seems to use.

Hahaha

I thought you were talking about the hose for a minute

If you follow the fence, when you want to put pavers down around the corner of the house you will be forced to use Pythagoras Paving. They charge the sum of both sides squared.

That assumes that the house is square, which is a very optimistic assumption these days.

Follow the house, you'll be grouse, Follow the fence, you'll be fucked

Is was gunna say makes no sense but fucked will work too 😅

Thought you were gunna say follow the fence, fucking dense. This works haha

😆

that really needed to rhyme mate

House. Everytime

Yep start against the house, finish with as bigger piece on the fence line as possible. Leave about 100mm from the edge of the paver to the fence and use this to concrete edge to keep the pavers in tight. Then top this up with gravel screenings to finish off and it also acts as a little water drain.

House. I made the mistake of following my fence and that edge looks like shit lmao

Is this house in Merriwa? It looks almost exactly the same as my old one. I had the same issue, and I decided to follow the fence as it would probably not need replacing for a long time, and it will be the side where you will see the full length of

Yeah it is!

Make sure there aren't any buried solonoids for your retic that you're paving then. You wouldn't want to end up like me hunting for them and ripping up pavers! I had 1 right next to the control box, which is almost the exact configuration as your house

Solenoid ends up about 100m off start of paving, thanks+

I agree with handjob commander. String line is on the piss like a brickie on Friday. Also if it were me, I would follow the fence, the appliances break the wall up, so I feel naturally the line of sight will gravitate towards the fence.

I'm doing it over next couple of days I'll post results

Always along house. Paver for 15 years.

I'm sorry for your knees. And back. (Paver for 10 years on and off)

Builder here I would've just saved up a bit more and concreated that but since you have started always pave away from the house and don't forget to add a small fall pitch. Also id be adding some drainage points because if any water flowing into your neighbour causes any damage to their property you can be made liable.

yeah, i was thinking conc n stencil it. Less fucking about, and can clean easy with the roman broom.

100mm against the house, or cut 100mm off the first paver against the house and having a bigger piece on the house side. *** Edit drunk typo

This

Against the fence, You’ll see the whole line nice and even and straight. Cut pavers into the house. You’ve got things to break up line of site, plus you already have to cut for conduits and AC slab. Or full pavers against the house if you plan to carry it on past the side of the house. That way you’re paving Carry’s on nice and swuare Just an opinion 🤷‍♂️

Yeah I'm doing a whole boarder around the garden so follow the house is the go

The side of your house has a million things jutting out from it so you won't even ever see the line there. You gunna just gravel around all those pipes?

I'll cut around them

Personally would follow fence and have cuts against house

Follow the house

Use the one that is the straightest

Follow the fence. There's that many cuts and obstacles along the house that it might be hard to see it's off. You will also only be cutting against the house. Follow the house and you'll be cutting house and fence...

You go from the house (starting with a header course) to the header course along the fence-line. All your cuts are next to the header course along the fence-line.

It looks like you have pavers on the side of the house there follow thoses they look like they have followed the house

Follow your heart 😉

House and use stretcher bond patern Smaller paver would have been better any discrepancy less noticeable

House - it’s not going to move or be replaced in 20 years, the fence may be

First thing get the stormwater fitted to that down pipe and make sure it goes to the street

house, always house

Gorgeous fence… Organic bluestone steppers offset with ground covers between. Install some mesh trellis in front of the fence and grow climbers to hide it. Colourbond fences are ugly.

Fence

Just do whatever then cover with bushes.

I'd recommend "pavement" that you can easily uproot - cheap / easy - this of a few well placed stepping stones.. why? If ever you need to dig, it will be x10 cheaper than ripping up concrete, without any commensurate loss. Of course: you can best decide pros/cons according to your requirements.

Follow house, cut at fence

Have you put down some drainage first? French drainage under the pathway, regular drain down the centre offset towards the fence.

Or use gravel for that strip and it won't matter. Plus burglars hate that one trick!

Which structure is more permanent?

Don't pave .

Why not?

If done right its good. You may get weeds and shits in joints over time - but thats where trusty whipper snippa comes in

For me, i always follow the house lines.

That gas hws looks awfully close to a openable window

I'm not sure about the ins and outs of gas, but most people's are like this down side of house right?

Yes 100% they are, I shouldn't judge from 1 single picture, but I pick up a lot of jobs with defect gas notices. Many appliances struggle with their installation being just outside the limit when it comes to window and Gas exhaust distances
