Hi, we live in Michigan and it's been over 3 years with no cracking. You can check out my update video from last year here. Thanks for watching ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rgpAmWwuals.html
Okay Ive got 3 stupid questions for everyone or anyone who has any insight or tips, hints, tricks... 1) So does all that extra concrete powder that spills over the front facing edge turn into clumps of hard concrete forever then? I feel like you need to bring a shop vac through and scoop a lotta the excess stuff up before watering or something, no? 2) did you stake down the "no dig" black plastic edging liner beforehand or was the just loose and the weight of the bricks kept them in place? 3) Will this work just as easy on a hill working up or down as oppossed to a flat surface like you have here? I have a big hill in the backyard I need to try and play with THANKS IN ADVANCE! PUMPED TO TRY THIS OUT!!
1. The concrete just hardens and stays where you poured it. It's covered up with mulch so you never see it. As I said in the video I overdid it but no harm, no foul :-). 2. Yes, stakes come with the edging. 3. It should...the concrete holds the blocks so as long as it's not a crazy hill, I would think it should be ok. Tuck more concrete in front and behind the pavers and it should "seal" them in. Thanks for watching!
UPDATE: Everything worked relatively well. I took a painting brush and wiped all the excess concreate off the bricks before watering but i will say when you water down it seemed like majority of excess would just run off the bricks anyways so that was pry overkill. staking it down worked good although the bricks were pretty heavy anyways. no problem on a decently sized hill for most part. I guess my thing would just be to recommend triple checking all your bricks are lined up PERFECTLY before watering in place bc obvsiouly once you water they're stuck in stone. Literally. I also didn't need as many bags of concrete mix as i thought either but didn't go as wide as you guys did. GREAT little project tho that adds a lot to the yard decor and ambiance. THANKS AGAIN!
🌴🌺 god bless! I’m working on this this morning and you made it so much easier I bought all of that so I have everything to make my front yard look amazing
Thank you very much for the video,I was always afraid to tackle any projects with cement but now having watched your video,has given me the courage to try this in my yard,is it a good idea to add a second or third layer,if so any recommendation of glue to be used?Thanks
How to get saved and be right with God, who loved us all, for eternal life! 1-Realize that all have sinned before God, in one way or another. Romans 3: 10-12+23 (KJB) 10. "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" 11."There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God." 12."They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one." 23. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” 2-Realize that God loved us, even as sinners enough to allow Jesus to pay the price for our sins, as a free gift to whosoever accepts it. Romans 5: 8-9+12 (KJB) 8. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." 9."Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." 12. “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for all that have sinned:” 3-Confess unto God to ask to be forgiven of your sins, by accepting this freely given gift of forgiveness. 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4 (KJB) 1."Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2."By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.” 3."For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;” 4."And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” Romans 10: 9-10+13 (KJB) 9. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” 10."For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." 13."For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Hebrews 9: 27-28 (KJB) 27."And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" 28."So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Revelation 21: 8 (KJB) "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Romans 6: 23 (KJB) “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (An example of what to pray to God to get saved and forgiven of your sins.) “Dear God, I am a sinner and need saving. I know I’m not good enough to get to heaven and I need you to save me. I need the righteousness of your son, Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus is the Lord, who died, was buried and resurrected so that his precious blood can wash away my sins. I trust in him alone to save me. Nothing else. Not my good works or anything else. Only Jesus. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
She did! We'd bring the trailer home from storage to prep for the following weekend camping and she'd be so excited to see it in the driveway because she knew she would soon be off on another adventure with mom and dad! Thanks for watching!!
nice video. i know this is older but i just came across it looking for a site at hartwick pines and this video gave me a look at where the site is i am looking at. i havent been there since i was a kid and i think that the campground has been moved so this video is perfect. thank you. i live and camp in michigan and the walk around videos are great.
My parents had a little cottage in Roscommon, I spent a lot of summers and even a few winters up there. Higgins Lake was also a major part of it. I remember the only store within a reasonable distance was an IGA. I remember there was this really cool putt-putt golf course nearby too. It’s been about 30 years, I really need to get back up there.
We did a cruise on the Oasis as well but didn't have any additional outlets in the nightstand. Maybe it depends on the room. Either way we have a cruise scheduled on the Voyager this April and have a connecting promenade interior room so thank you for the tour! Let me know if you have any tips.
Nice job on the video. Harrisville is probably my wife’s favorite state park campground. You forgot to show the cabins at the dump station. LOL and the only fire wood vending machine I’ve ever seen.
Nice job. I’d like you to do the same video only let’s say the first week of August. Show the masses of people. It’s a much different atmosphere. Thanks for the tour.
Heartbreaking. I lost my corgi 2 years ago. She looked just like Cricket. My best friend for 16 years. Wish I could give her one last hug.. Loved Port Huron. My dad and I would drive through on the way to Marysville. We would walleye fish all night behind the water plant.
Was doing this same thing but with paver sand and it just isn't as sturdy in the long run. Didn't know you can do this with cement and have a good bond. Many thanks
Should've seen that park in the 70s and 80s. So many good memories from there. I grew up a few miles away and spent many summer days with good friends in Aloha
One day late seeing this I just dug a trench to put brick in no let me take my butt home after work and put dirt right back in the whole, then go get concrete LORD HELP ME...... Home Depot/Lowes Here I come
Great job! I think I would put a second parallel no dig edging for the back side so that when pouring the concrete out it will all be contained in one neat strip.
Great job ... I think using adhesive made for landscape blocks might come in handy to prevent any shifting . Also suggest throwing a level on the edging for those with unlevel lawns might be useful as well . Thoughts ?
The concrete holds down the pavers so not sure any adhesive would be needed. Sure, you could use a level...we just weren't being that particular about it and it looks fine :-) thanks for watching
