Liked your video. Our Granddaughter was born in Washington, DC with a diaphragmatic hernia and had to spend 3 months in the Children's Hospital with the majority of the time in their NICU. She was tube fed for almost 2 years and even today at age (almost) 16, she is a picky eater. She is small in stature, but big in heart and is a social butterfly to say the least. A true blessing and I carry her picture in her Nana's lap when she escaped the NICU as my wallpaper on my iPhone. You are in store for the same blessings. Keep up your good work and you are doing the right thing to build value in both your life and your family.
Wow thank you for such kind words and man reading that comment made my day!! So glad to hear she’s doing great and still the apple of your eye after 16 years! Thank you for watching and take care!
I like how you don’t sugar coat it. Projects develop their own problems and “they ain’t all flowers.” What seems straightforward, isn’t always so clear once you get into things. I appreciate you sharing that here. Way to get it done and not sit on it too!
Thank you I appreciate that and haha glad to know that seeing those things that all actually happen during a project is enjoyable and not too mundane! Thanks for watching BK!
I do automotive restoration and just bought a set of DEWALT Cobalt Alloy Steel Drill Bit Set with Pilot Point, 14-Piece (DWA1240) from the Jungle River store and absolutely love them. I had to drill out a seized, rusty bolt from the bottom of fender on a late 50's car and the bits never dulled, and handled the rusty, hard steel better than any of my other drill bits could have. Good luck!!
Hey someone was paying attention during the video haha! Appreciate the recommendation though will definitely have to look those drill bits up! Thanks for watching!
Thank you I appreciate that!! Needing to keep the level up over vacation is what started my research on this whole thing so glad it wasn't just me having that issue!
I actually haven't put any of the polymeric sand inbetween the joints yet, I think that may be a project for this next spring (but have been super happy even without using that - heard mixed reviews on how long the sand lasts), but that said I would still imagine that water would pass through the sand fairly easily, these are great to put a pathway through an otherwise muddy area and that will also be another project for next spring haha!
Thank you I appreciate that!! The stitching is definitely a repetitive enough movement that I can tune things out and relax while doing that so I’m glad you can do the same because getting out of your head ain’t easy, take care!!
I would think you would probably be fine as long as you removed the topsoil from where you wanted to place them, wouldn’t worry so much about the concrete breaking once it’s cured as I would the ground moving and settling underneath it if you have a lot of expansive soils in the area like we do here
Thank you! I didn’t have a ton of slope where I installed it but there was some. Depending on how dry the mix was, anywhere from 5-10 minutes after you’ve put it in the form probably, it’s much quicker than you would think because if you packed it in then it’ll hold its shape!
Very cool project man, I'm also doing something similar for my side house as a walk way. No weed barrier or any gravel base? Will the stones shift over time?
Thank you and good luck!! No gravel base needed, I would suggest getting all the grass clear underneath first though. A weed barrier isn’t necessary but if I did it over again I think I’d use one just because it wouldn’t hurt. And the “stones” settle very little in within a couple days of being placed and then have stayed impressively firm and level across each other. You can put a sand on top that locks in the joints but I haven’t tried that yet
