One more project

[deadeye]

I kind of brought this on my self.  Adding to our existing rock paths. 
12 years ago I built stone path ways from the house through the garden are to a pergola.  It was quite and
undertaking and took most of the summer to complete.  I picked all the rocks from rockpiles on my land.
Turns out there was one section that didn't get done so I decided to tackle it this year.  I have gathered
the rocks and started work yesterday.  Got a good jump on it this morning and hope to complete it by the days end.

[Cooperman]

It’s beautiful, love those pavers, where did you find those?

[deadeye]

Taking a short break to let my head clear and my fingers rest.  I swear by the time I'm done, I will have handled each rock 10 times. (some a lot more).  Anyway, I hope I didn't hose up by starting at the end and working towards the middle but the one rock was just to big to more than once!

Boar,
Talk about enthusiasm, I did the other 160 feet 12 years ago and am just now getting back to finish one section.

Cooperman,
I have an unlimited supply of rock on my property.  I just need to select them from a pile.

Getting close to finished.


Now the big problem is to make them meet in the middle

ha! yeah i hear ya, like i said ive 2 square patio blocks to put in and the patio is finished, its been 2 yearz. walk by it every day...i should finish that. lol. 12 years tho.... lol it looks awzome!!

[deadeye]

I figured once I started I better finish because it's hard to work up the gumption to get started.  However, it is now done and looks as good as the stuff I did 12 years ago.  I went a little faster because I wasn't quite as concerned about the absolute best fit for each rock.  Wisdom comes with age I guess.  Perfect day for making rock puzzles.

Sorry deadeye, I should have been more clear. I was asking about the border pavers, the row on each side of your rocks. That’s exactly what I’m looking for. I don’t want to use the ones you can get a Menards with the convex on one end and concave on the other ends. Yours look really nice.

[deadeye]

No problem.  I got them at Runnings in Monticello.  They were behind the building and on clearance for $.75 each.  They had a pallet of them several weeks ago.

Sure is a nice job!!!  Even if you waited 12 years to finish it.  There are always other things to do in the meantime when owning a home. Heck I waited that long to clean out my garage.  Mostly kid stuff that they didn't have room for and to be picked up in short order they said.  Well last fall I told them to get what they need or out it goes.  Everything went for junk.  Now the basement LOL.  good luck.
