2874 Morgantown Road: Patio Progress Reports
May 11, 2007
I finally had a chance to begin scraping back the gravel and laying some stones for the patio we want to lay behind the kitchen. I got a start, but have a LONG way to go. In fact, when I quit and looked out the kitchen window, I could see that the stones I had laid are, in fact, slopping up towards the neighbors ever so slightly, but enough that I need to pull them up and scrape some more to level them off. From the extras stacked by the well and the stones around the tree with the swing, I count about 50 stones and to fill out the 12 foot by 10.5 foot area, I calculate I’ll need around 85 or so. Since we will probably have to remove the wooden steps up to the shed (each step has a stone in it), I should capture another 15 or so stones, so we will see just how far out towards the 12 foot marker that takes me.
