I would love to talk about the stupidity of one
New England Patriot tight end
who took it upon himself
to "allegedly"
kill, at least one person the other day,
but I'll rant on that at another time.
More importantly,
let's talk about me.
I mentioned in an earlier post that it was time to give
the old walkway a makeover.
So I dug up the old
with the intention of putting in a new one
IN A WEEKEND.
A "weekend project"
the do-it-yourself manual boasted.
Bulls*#T!
Actually, it started one weekend and ended the next
plus all the days in between.
I like the idea that it was 90 degrees and humid.
Bring it on!
So, after doing the math
I ordered 2 tons of crushed gravel for the base...
1/2 ton of sand....
2.5 tons of field stone
newly quarried
( I don't know what that means)
and I used the old bricks,
so I had that going for me.
Plus, I had a helper, Rosie.
Not really,
she was absolutely no help.

the 'how to' manuals always lie. Looking at having our front sidewalk re-done as well... Come on over when you are ready to start the work for us now that you have it all figured out. :) Yours looks mighty fabulous!
It looks great! Good job. :)
I love the variation of materials! and I think you did an awesome job. If you ever quit your day job, I know a contractor who would hire you immediately :-)
OH, and the a$$wipe thought taking out all his own security cameras would save his sorry a$$. Forgot to keep his DNA riddled gum in his mouth though.
VERY impressed! Well done.
Nice job! Those stones can add up in cost. We have used them around the homestead and still need more. It does look good though.
It made my muscles ache just looking at your pictures -- memories. Still, you did a beautiful job and should be very proud of yourself.
