I dig a patio

Filed under: Cornu Copia

 

 

Well, Debbie, David, Sam, Candy, and I have
been working hard all summer on the ever expanding
dream of having a patio behind the house in Lapel.

As DIY projects often go, it started as a modest idea,
but the more we read, saw on the Home networks, and heard
from people who actually had a bit of wisdom of such things,
(thanks David!!), we decided to do this the right way.

The "right way" ended up including over 6 tons of crushed
gravel, known as "The Dusty 12" in the industry, or at least
at the gravel pit near Lapel.  We also used a couple tons of
Sand, and at last count,  nearly 130  16x16  paver stones.

The patio is nearing completion, and is anxious to host and
toast future family gatherings

Heck, we could almost have a wedding there….
