Saturday’s operation of laying down my patio stones went off without a hitch. With the help of Rob and Mike, I can now look at my walkway and realize that there’s no way that there will ever be any rain trickling towards the house.
Saturday started off with a start out of bed and into the car to go check out garage sales for a crowbar. I have determined that no one ever parts with their crowbar, but they do part with halogen lights for $5. Sweet deal.
After picking up a crowbar at Canadian Tire, I started hauling out the stones and shortly afterwards, Rob and Mike showed up. After an hour of messing around, we realized that it would be a lot easier if we had the proper tools for the job, so off to Home Depot we went. Let me point out that this entire day went smooth due to Rob doing some bricklaying back in the day in Paisley. His knowledge helped us out immensely.
The day was done by 3:30 and I can’t say we worked too hard. However, I have realized that drinking beer while working in a 35 degree day isn’t the smartest thing to do. I was feeling pretty sluggish around 2:45 so I thought some H20 may do the trick. After we were refreshed, the job was finished pretty soon after that.
I dig the jobs that would probably only take 2-3 hours if we busted our ass, but take all day because we don’t feel like busting our ass.
One reply on “Lay Those Stones Down”
Mr. Do-it-yourself! Glad to hear that it went well.
I sincerely hope that is a picture of your backyard and handi-work. But I have my doubts.
