With Spring, (hopefully), not too far away it's that time where I get my fat arse out in the garden to get it ready for the BBQ's and piss ups it regularly hosts. With it being World Cup year i'm sure there will be many more to come, and I wanting it looking particularly good this year. When we moved in, (we being me and my slag ex), we were told the patio would need repointing in the coming years, so this seems like as good-a-time as any. Has anyone ever done it? I'm guessing I need to clear all the moss out between the stones so there's a gap, then just fill in the gaps with new mortar? I have read you can buy a mortar gun and ready mixed mortar, whereas i was just going to brush some loose mixed stuff between the gaps? Any advice, cos I know tempers will be frayed when I start this and I want it to go as smooth as possible because me and DIY do not get on.
