...non-boating project...

I'm going to put a stone paver patio in under part of the deck at the
rear of the house. About 130 square feet. Going to use J.P. Henry
stone.

The rough part is excavating out about 7" of compacted soil, so I'm
going to contract that out. The rest is a lot of work, but not
back-breaking...layer of geo textile, 4" to 5" of base that I'll
compact
with a rental compactor, then an inch of sand as a screening bed, and
then the pavers. Also have to rent a ditch witch to dig 50' trenches
for
two downspouts and a trench for electrical conduit for wiring to power
up a fountain.

But not until the temps drop.

Exciting, eh? A bit of beef for rec.boat's asshole trolls to feed upon.

Sorry ex man.
Where's the beef.
Any project you would undertake on your own would be more like like
Pablum for us real men.

Well, first, it isn't a "screening bed". It is a bed, and you use
screened sand or limestone!!! So, you can tell he's a spoofer, because I
know everything!

Please! He's fishing for expertise. Let him figure it out on his own or
let the bricklayer lady help him.


"A bit of beef for rec.boat's asshole trolls to feed upon."

As predicted, the trolls snapped at the bait...it's easier to catch
trolls here than it is to buy a fish at a fish market.

I've built four patios over the years, three large ones and one small
one. This will be number five. If I were searching for "expertise" on
*any* boating or construction subject, rec.boats would not be the place
I'd look. There are no experts on these subjects here.
