Patio project

Should wrap things up today.

Sure, I'd be glad to host the next meet, assuming of course it consists of 3 people.

Scrambled Eggs and a hot cup of coffee down.

Going to twiddle my thumbs for another 30 minutes and then get to work

So it is with artisans, begins early and ends early

If you get good at stamping, I've got several contacts near you that would gladly put you to work. You still going with flagstone. Sometimes you can rent stamps or buy them cheap on the net. I bought a Increte territory, expensive then, now I buy most of my stuff local.

You can also go over existing concrete slabs with a product called thincrete and stamp it, do a lot of bars, dealerships, ect. this way.

Cool stuff.

DONE!

though i severely underestimated the "easy" that today was supposedly going to be.

i would NOT call today the "easy day" in hind sight though i will say today was a LOT easier than yesterday.

Patio came together as I expected... it looks great - not professional - but great. and the fence came out better than i expected!

EDIT:

time to get drunk
