Started by digging and leveling and digging and leveling in front of the old fireplace in our back yard

Added gravel, leveled again, then sand and leveled again

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.

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.

Does it count if I didn't use any hands?

That's real nice Root... I love that style. Post interior and more exterior pics when done, so I can copy it.

Yeah...not bad for the garage. We've been calling it the "flare" but I think I like swale better. The whole house gets it too...but with some much more involved shingle coursing.

Nice work RootSkier

Disclaimer: I'm no teenager but I'm not old enough to have used these skis. thanks dad.

**eldereldo** · 11-09-2009, 11:11 AM

Hey those 4S were my favorite skis!

**PASKIINGSUCKS** · 11-09-2009, 12:49 PM

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...
