nope just like tile , thinset on wall and back butter esp. larger rocks. Seal before grouting and then again after ward. Really helped that just had done drive way , 16 loads of pit run. Got the idea form tile store as you can buy sheets of river roc mounted on sheet. Now these are gauged so could be used on floor. I have seen these used on a shower floor but even though natural don't look like it as there are "lines" between sheets. You could collect for floor application but would have to be anal about thickness. Doesn't really matter for backsplash within reason.Quote:

Finally got all the bricks in and mortared down a step in so the contour of the yard can better meet the level of the patio, which had to meet the old fireplace's level

Hopefully the new bricks will look a bit more like the older bricks of the fireplace as they get dirty and go through a rainy season. We've already got batter patio furniture out there and use the fireplace and backyard tons more. Adding this area really changed our "outdoor living".
Next up: building a barbecue into the farside of the fireplace using the existing structure - pics to come.
Next project, rebuild the fireplace.
Nice work, and good laugh TKN... SPAM alert!: You need to check this site out! The owner will be handling pig roasting duties at Ullrfest. so he's sort of a mag... he said he would also give maggot discounts: www.spitjack.comQuote:

Yeah, I'm going to be mortar patching a bunch when I do the BBQ. I like the old look and I don't want to carry that many bricks around again for a while. It's not like the wind will blow it down and I already chopped down the tree that would've fallen on it.Quote:

That's real nice Root... I love that style. Post interior and more exterior pics when done, so I can copy it.
Diggin the swale, a ton of extra work for a subtle detail - but so worth it.Quote:

Nice work RootSkier

Disclaimer: I'm no teenager but I'm not old enough to have used these skis. thanks dad.
Hey those 4S were my favorite skis!
They were much easier to mount a coat hanger to I'll tell ya that much, those blizzards put up a serious fight. The blizzards were used by me a couple times but only as a foolish jong on a local grass hill a couple times.
Built this Flagstone patio...
Removed the old paver brick patio...
poured a 6" slab, fiber mesh reinforced concrete pad...
Cut and mortared 1" thick red flagstone onto the pad...
Then grouted the joints with mortar...
Took 12 weeks working pretty much any time available, cut all of the flagstone with a right angle grinder and diamond wheel...
Have no idea how much money i saved doing it myself..
But I look at it now and think, how in the hell do I do this...

Nice first post. You can't go wrong here posting pictures of beer.
How'd that stout come out?
Yeah I figured this was a fairly safe spot for a first post.Quote:

Dark and heavy with an Orange note, not citrusy, and a good hint of spices to give it that holiday feel. Brew day tomorrow in remembrance of our Veterans, another Stout for the Winter. I'll update later on how that one turns out. My favorite way to waste time while waiting for snow.
My daughter's a tweenager, so the clothes are taking over. I started this project out as just building some shelves for clothing. It kinda grew into a loft with stairs (dog has to be able to get up, too!):

Nicely done. You should plant the idea in her head about having a weight limit up there. To discourage any future "guests" up there.Quote:
