Patio Phase 2
I found this GREAT DEAL on pavers at the RE-Store.....enter... the next Big Idea...
Those pavers would make a great patio!!!  I started digging....and digging...and moving the dirt in my Gorilla Cart to other ends of the yard.







Somewhere I read that you should put down landscape fabric first.  That was wrong, as hindsight is enlightened;  I know better now, but I'm NOT going to dig out the 6000lbs. of gravel I hauled in AND compacted.  If you look closely you can see that I dug too deep.  At that point I realized I needed another 3000lbs of gravel.  The thoughtof hauling and shoveling more gravel was too overwhelming. So there is sat for 6 months.




 In Florida, summer is the rainy season.  This gave me another great idea........  Lets build an outlet for all that water!









 Later I had the bright idea to put boards up to show where I wanted the top of the pavers and establish the slope.  The boards were even at the time, but winter set in and there they still are.  Since then, I have decided to hire a professional.  Doh...............




But the river is working.
