...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.

By the way, since I haven't been boating since August 2010, I have been
saving up my energy and pennies to complete the project. I will post
pictures of the paver patio, but don't ask for any boating related photos.
