Here's an interesting one. My neighbour has recently had laid a herringbone, block-paved drive on quite a slope. She's had the workmen bury steel wire armoured cable which now emerges through a gap in the paviours. What she wants installed there is a seven-foot tall lamppost!
A couple of people she's called have said they will lift a couple of paviours and replace them with the same depth of concrete. I've suggested she needs a good eighteen inches of concrete to embed the three six-inch 'J' bolts supplied to anchor the post, which has a hexagonal base of about 12 inches across flats.
Does anybody have any experience of doing this job, or any general recommendations?
