Flagstone Day 4


Flagstone Day 4

Oh Man!!

So I took this picture Thursday night right 
after I finished washing everything down. I 
have decided that 20:30 MST is a bit dark   
for doing a photo, at least with my crappy  
photo skills. I do have good news, for me   
at least. The section done here is 14'3" by 
12'2" for about 174sqft. I got two of the   
huge pieces down on my own, but I couldn't  
manage the last one alone, so my wife helped
out. The fact that I've gotten this far lets
me know that the 'end' is near. I can see   
the light at the end of the tunnel, or the  
4' wide path in the very least.             

I made the path 'wide' so if I ever sell my
house its more handicappable friendly. That
and once my concrete 'grout' is in it will 
be almost perfectly smooth for riding bikes
or other things with tires. Its more room  
than the Bike lanes have in Albuquerque.   

I have 55' of path remaining, some of which 
has had zero prep work done on it. I've used
15 bags of concrete and 31 bags of peagravel
in the project for support so far. I still  
need to make a barrier under my gate from   
the front to the back yard. I also have umm 
about 75 8"x16" pavers to pull out from the 
back yard and return to my father-in-law. He
gave them to me 3-4 years ago, but now he   
has a use for them since I am pulling them  
back out.                                   

So close yet sooo far,
A.Rohde
