At the May holidays, it was decided not to overeat barbecue in nature, and do something useful for your home. For example, the lay path around bathhouses.
Wife selflessly agreed to help me, and two heads are known to better than one. The process of laying we delayed, but one side, we have already laid, so that we can build on this example, all of today's story.
Tile has been purchased in advance. In total we paid about 3,000 rubles. In the city where we live, so often spread tile walkways. The photo shows that some pieces are chipped. This rejection of one of these works. Therefore, tile and cost so cheap. True, the price may have been different, because this rejection, we bought as many as two years ago. The materials we bought in advance, and that's up to the laying of the hands come down just now.
To begin, we have removed all the vegetation layer. I measured the desired width for the track, and then removed the green layer along the perimeter. Earth was quite a decent amount.
On the left side you can see the steam otmostku - penoplex. He dug at an angle from the warmed Swedish plates. Under the drainage layer has a blind area.
Immediately sleep sand layer and begin to lay tiles. Installation is not too difficult - first fall asleep sand, slightly tamped, watered, screed and spread the tile elements. Once typed enough tiles, I rammed them with the board.
I rammed certainly not the best in this world, but you have to work with what we have. Hand, by the way, just come off after a dozen meters of track.

After I posted a few meters track, I fill the gaps and cracks between the elements by means of the same sand. The remaining rows are stacked in the same way.
The main objective was to make the tile elements are almost not moving. Therefore it was decided to make some tracks on the sides of abutment, downwards to fill a dense layer of sand. As between the tile elements are also bombarded with sand, everything should be in theory, hold on tight and be a long time without problems.
Once you have completed the first segment to spread the track, it is necessary to remove the excess sand. Do this carefully so as not to stir up more shrinkable elements. We use the track for a month with a little, and so far everything is fine. Everything is tight, as if nailed nails. The second segment of the track plan to install on the same principle, because the result is worth it.
