better then parking on dirt. and we have more brick then what we know what to do with

my dad broke his foot. ( not driving the mustang for him anymore ) and is in cincy for the weekend and has wanted to do this for weeks but with his foot he cant. so he left at 5 am today and i started at 6 am.

2 tons of compact able gravel. spread it out then compacted it. went to sunbelt told them i was from the civic association..got a weird look and he gave me the 50% off price 20 is better then 40 then 1 ton of sand. 1 inch thick.

anyway. pic. im not done. but im done for today. im tired. i got alot of cutting of bricks to do tomm when he gets back monday he better be happy or imma be pissed atleast a thank you or something. and the gutter sitting there is only temp. were going to get rain and i dont want the water washing over it. tomm after the cuts i need to put sand on top and vi berate it all in to lock it all together. fun fun.



and yes. it slopes. away fromt he garage in both directions..(dont want water to sit.)

see what i mean by more brick then what we know what to do with!

Looking good. Nice to be able to park aside the garage and still get both cars out. I had more room at my parents for that than at my house. I just have to put my left front tire on the grass....which is now a circle of dirt...hehe

I've done a few patios and walks, it's NOT fun. But in the end it looks great and adds a little class. Looks like your doing a good job with it.

That looks awesome, I wanted to do that to the side of my garage but dad said no way. Maybe your dad will let you get another Mustang for doing this. lol

if he's not happy with it, you need to reverse the roles in your relationship. have a sit down conversation with him. kinda like this. look dad i put alot of time and effort to do this and to have it look great as a gift to you for all the help you have given me. i am sadly dissapointed that you are not appreciating what i have done. NO GO TO YOUR ROOM, NO DINNER FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!
