And we're done! Probably $1,000 worth of materials and labor was just some sweat off the brow. Took about 3 working days total. Looks good enough for my skill level and our needs. If I had infinite time I could do better I think. Thanks for following the project, let me know what you're working on!

Patio update. I hate to say but after measuring again I had to disassemble the wall and rebuild. I was about 1.5” low from where I needed it so I packed more gravel base underneath to raise it. Good side of that was I was able to focus more on getting everything as square and level as possible. You think, ah a degree off here or there, oh well. Then you get another layer up and start placing pavers that no longer interlock. It’s got to be perfect or darn close. Back filled with gravel and cemented the wall in place with adhesive. Added a drain in the low point that goes under another wall below our deck just incase we have water rolling back towards the house. It will hit the drain and drain tile which I’ll line with gravel and be carried away from the foundation. Storms are coming so my wife is heading to grab more materials while I clean up and start again tomorrow. image

Small project started this weekend. Needed a landing for the deck to avoid the mud so I'm adding an 8' x 12' patio at the stairs. My property slopes in multiple directions so I needed to add a mini retaining wall for the edge on one side. This took me all day to get the ground cut, tamped, and base (with somehelpf from my boys, wife and dog of course). I've built a 6' x 20' retaining wall elsewhere on my property before but this is my first attempt at a patio. Really trying hard to keep everything level so it looks decent in the end. Well see!

Vlog 19,20? Can’t recall, been too long. Shoutout @Anders and @Desert Dave for motivation to get another vlog out. It’s bland but just wanted to check in. Touch in on family, garden and BIP110. Hope everyone is well. More to come. #vlogstr

Sometimes you get to load up "Mom's School Bus" and take it for a trip to the mountains. Kids, dog and adults are equally exhausted and refreshed at the same time. Cold rivers and sunshine are medicine.
