I add links to the products that I am using. I try to add them as amazon links so that you can see the ratings. But shop around, amazon has good prices, but sometimes your local store will have the same things cheaper. The Amazon links are Associate Affiliate Links.
Nice job man! I didn’t see the original video but I’m glad you followed up with everyone. Never done a patio myself but I may try it after watching this.
I don't see why you should care if anyone but you doesn't like the placement of the patio in relation to the window. The fact that your shed fits perfectly seems to confirm that it's in the right place.
The old pavers could be used to make very nice and deep garden bed edges. I did this on a number of occasions and it always turned out very nice in some cases I was able to double up the pavers to get a very sturdy and beefy edge on larger garden beds...
Did that but it leaked. I have carpal tunnel so thought I should tighten with a clamp wrench now it sprays out of the joint. How do I fix it? Teflon tape is on clockwise
What state do you live in for this patio job? Im looking at about a 500 sq ft area to work with and im wondering if it is worth to do these paver panels or just so the traditional 4in gravel method. Im located in Southern California.
It would be very helpful if you could please add all of the tools and brands you used, so that we can get similar stuff, since it looks like you have all of the appropriate tools, and the whole “plumbers kit” going… Stuff that many of us may not… but that would give us an idea of what tools we need. thanks
Hey, this project helped me plan mine. Thanks. On summer 2 of my project and a landscaping friend said I’ve saved about $15k so far. Put about 300 hours in but it’s worth it looking at what I’ve made and happy with it holding up perfectly over last winter (what I had done that far). Cheers
I did a similar build three years ago and thought I could add some input. I got my materials from Menards, with the same thickness but larger pavers. Overall, it has held up great. We experienced some sinking, but that was expected due to the amount of material we added. Personally, I can tell there's foam under the pavers-I can feel it if I jump or stomp. However, I don't think anyone else has noticed. I'm happy I used the foam panels on my patio. However, if I wanted stone walls and a truly long-lasting setup, I'm not confident this will last any longer than a composite deck. The prep work is also largely the same, but it's easier to manage because of the panels. If you don't do the prep correctly, the panels can't compensate for gaps. Their main advantage is that you don't push sand around accidentally when placing pavers, so if you're doing it solo, it can save labor and effort.
Oh to add, when it does sink a bit, what's nice about the panels is they keep the seams aligned at least. Make sure your paver edges don't align with panel seams. In this case, the dip is smooth instead of a trip hazard.
Your work is top notch! We are attempting to do the same thing about half the size you did with pavers we’ve decided to use artificial turf on the rest of it the bulk of the yard. You did some steps I didn’t even think about or know about great work.👍😎
Hey, do you know the colour of the oem bulb? I installed an amber colour bulb and you know the housing is also amber. So maybe i’m thinking to install a white light so the amber reflectors in the headlight assembly will shine better?
Hey, i did my backyard using the same paver panels and it's been a year now. Still looks great! No sagging or weeds growing between the pavers. My area was twice the size as yours. I did exactly what you did and just moved the dirt to somewhere else. Some of the dirt i gave to my neighbors. Yes, using the panels costed me more money but time saved from digging up less dirt was all well worth it. Thank you for making an update video. Your paver patio still looks great!
I'm glad to hear the PaverBase system is holding up. We manufacture those panels. More and more people including contractors are switching to them. The savings in labor and warranty claims far outpaces the additional cost of the product.
You did a great job, looks beautiful! I love everything about your patio. (And thanks for adding extra notes - like your particular patio wouldn't hold weight of a car.)
those setting sands dont work very well and are repeated maintenance. heavy duty external flex filler would take ages to apply but with the right filler, should last a long longer and provide no cracks for moss and other things. also a lot more expensive. it's more that air moves a lot less in the inner corner that makes for longer moist area, rather than lack of direct sunlight.
wow thanks for the follow up! I am doing the exact same project under my deck so there will be cuts to do. But, now I am more concerned about plant growth since it is under the deck.
Wanted to use paver panels but decided to hire help to do traditional base. Planning on doing an extension of the patio and will likely use paver panels for the addition. Thank you!
YOu could just drop some pavers on that area under the window to give a visual of an extension. Or maybe a rock garden so there isn't such an obvious harsh contrast between the pavers and the dirt. I am going to do my patio this summer and will use paver base panel. THanks for the instructional video.
My mom just got this stove yesterday and she cant figure out how to get the clicking to stop when you turn on the stove top. Once its turned on, it clicks and after she adjusts the flame, it still clicks. It also did NOT come with instructions. How do you get the clicking to stop?
It should not be clicking after the flame is adjusted. The dial does the clicking when trying to start the flame on the starting section, it should stop when adjusting the flame. It sounds like it could be defective.
@@burrheadjr ok, I was thinking it may be defective. It's brand new. It was delivered yesterday and hooked up. I don't think she used it yet, if she did, it was only once. Guess we'll have to call where it was purchased from. Thank you!
Did a search, saw this video.. exact same model that we have in our apartment, same exact knob broke in exactly the same way. There is only one problem... Maintenance came by to 'fix' this issue by drilling a new knob hole in the middle of the panel, "because there are 2 spare connectors". Within 2 days, the plastic holders broke again, in the same way. It makes me think that there is a legit issue with this model of dryer, as why would the knob be experiencing enough force for that one knob to break free?
Your patio looks great! I put in a DIY patio 11'x 26' a few years ago I went down extra deep from the normal amount of gravel recommended. I went with 10" of gravel since this is an extreme north area. The frost thaw the following spring disturbed the patio so badly, that I had to do something to correct it. I pulled it all up put down the same Gator Base pads that you used. After 3 years now it looks the same as when I redid the whole patio and I am sold on the use of the Gator Base pad. I did another walkway last year 10' x 4' and even though I still put down 4" of gravel, you better believe I put down Gator Base panels again and it did not move at all despite varied freezing rain and thaw cycles through the last winter.
Seems to be a very American viewpoint is to shun new techniques with doomsday predictions. Gravel subase needs experience and equipment to lay successfully.
The weeds do not come up through the rock and sand and plastic panels. They start in the dirt that gathers in the crevasses and work their way down. That’s why it takes time, not because they’re burrowing up to the surface. You only need that weed prevention layer of black plastic if you’re doing soft landscaping.
Why bother with the plastic layer below the sand? You took such pains to make sure the rock layer was permeable, but then you put a completely waterproof layer directly below it? That sounds crazy to me. No wonder you had to put a French drain around it.
This is identical to my daddy’s toolbox. I’ve had it in my garage for several years not knowing what to do with it and today, cleaning out the garage, I decided to restore. My dad was meticulous about his things so it’s not dented. He did have a 1/2 of an old fashioned clothes pin tied by a string that slid through the locking latch. That will stay. His is probably closer to 60 years old.
