This is a short book about how to build a patio.It is a collection of knowledge from 1 year at college learning building, 1 year working for a company on building patios and driveways and 3 years self employed builder of patios (I also hired and trained 2 young lads and 1 not so young man while I was self employed)This is not the Cowboys edition, if you looking to do it cheap and quick, its not the book for you.Each of my short story's are 3-4,000 words however as I also included several pictures of actual patio building in progress to give my words some visual meaning.I admit I am not great with words and no one has edited any of these short books (except the Living In China, The ongoing story edition which is longer and has been edited) So the pictures are a necessity, and you know what they say "A picture tells a thousand words", Personally I believe a good picture could tell 100,000 words.I hope you like this book and put it to good use. Always remember, nothing bad ever came of making foundations too strong, however make them too weak and their will be hell to pay.
