Christmas Tree 4725 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'm trying to relocate a patio and thinking of digging out the old hardcore and using it again. Has anyone ever dug it up before? Will a pick axe do the job or do I need one of those pneumatic drills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Sorry, the only hardcore I feel qualified to offer advice on is porn or old school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably best bury her elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2207 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Decks are better than patios anyway. If a Kiwi asks you sit on his dick, don't be offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 4251 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 What kind of hardcore is under your patio like? Any I have laid have been on a dry sand & cement base on level earth.

Actually use a pick axe.. Unfortunately it was a proper job I had done about 15 years ago and if it's done correctly you have a 10-15 cm layer of hardcore / mot?, then sand and or a mortar / dry mortar base. It was basically a soggy bog back then. Anyway, having weighed it all up I've decided to move the flags with new hardcore and then use artificial grass over the existing hardcore. Same result and a hell of a lot less work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 That's what I told him, man. He'll probably not listen, though. I was prepared for that but having spent Sunday hacking through different hardcore and basically been fucked ever since, I was looking for an easier option.

Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 They both love the 80s as well We are both fond of very different aspects of the 80s. For me it's the cinema, video games, neon fashions, and synth tunes, for CT its Thatcher, starving miners and police brutality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
