Interesting, do you know when centex was "chased" out? The house was built in 2005.

I was hoping Centex would be nice because i found a great deal on one. Maronda i knew was crap but wanted some back up lol.

Ive been looking through houses and seen a lot of different things. Price range 120-145 MI seems to have some nice builds but smaller square footage. Maronda has larger square footage and cheaper price. Centex is right in the middle. Im looking in the blacklick/pataskala area FYI. Anyone actually know about longevity of these builders and quality of work?

says its 129.99 - 7 bucks

I disagree with using concrete sand to sweep in first. The more space for the polymeric sand to fall into cracks the better it will tighten up. If you have polymeric sand on top of the concrete sand it will be lose at the bottom and eventually break the thin polymeric sand layer on top. It is a bad idea. Save the 10 bucks you are going to save and do it right. 1 bag = 80-100sqft of polymeric sand. you would need 2 bags and have half a bag left over. You are looking at 50 bucks for the sand. It is worth the investment.

Looking for something fulltime atleast 40+ hours a week. I have applied Via there website for a risk anyalst position and alwys been declined without an interview. I have plenty of experience with customer service and computers, so if you think you can get me a job there here shortly please let me know. Thanks JaKE

Yes every two inches is correct, tamp every two. I still would not use sand at all on top for the last inch. #9's are the way to go. It is easier to work with and locks together to provide more strength. You do not tamp the #9s at all by themselves. However, when you are done laying the patio out and cutting it in if needed, you sweep a polymer sand over top and tamp out your pavers. This will compact them nice and tight to the ground while at the same time vibrating the polymer sand into the cracks. Once done you sweep off the remaining polymer sand wet it down to activate the polymer to harden. I prefer not to use edging as well for patios. It always tends to rise back up and get pushed out by the dirt. If it is the type of edging that goes under the soldier (outside paver) it will uplift that as well. Mortar works a lot better and will not move.

Those last pictures are from Mansfield. The customer spent a butt load on this fire pit area. I believe the Fire/water bowl was 2k from some guy and i dont even want to say what she spent on that fire pit with us lol.

Travertine, it's the paver version. They make a tile version as well. The paver is 1.25 inches thick. We have it imported from turkey. Runs around 7.50/sqft uninstalled. Colors http://www.stone-network.com/turkey/travertine/

This one was a fire and water fire pit. It has a bowl that sits in the middle and has a supply of water that flows under the fire. It is gas though. Pretty cool. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c168/twistedrx7/0806091617.jpg

Hey just saw this, you really do not want to a hand tamp over that whole thing. For one you will wear yourself out and two it will not compact very well. You will end up having spots sinking on you. It is better to just rent a compactor, or i can probably help you out. I personally like to do 6 inches of #411 and 1 inch of #9's. Sand will just move on you and will not lock together. you will also need a few things. a set of 1 inch poles and a board to get a nice level one inch for laying the pavers on after the base is set. A four foot level will also be needed to set slope up otherwise you will have watering pooling. A laser to figure out your depth is also a plus. Ive done this for a long time so if you want some help let me know. Here is chads patio i helped him with. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c168/twistedrx7/0627091128.jpg And a couple others http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c168/twistedrx7/0730091805.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c168/twistedrx7/0730091806.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c168/twistedrx7/0730091805.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c168/twistedrx7/0806091617a.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c168/twistedrx7/0806091616c.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c168/twistedrx7/0806091617b.jpg

the market is actually going back up.

roman stack is a nice way to make a firepit, I can more than likely get you the best discount at Mr mulch for it as well. It makes a 58 inch OD i believe.

fcmcclerk.com go to public records and look that shit up

most is the key word

I am looking at welding my UIM, LIM block off plates so i dont have to worry about leaks later on down the road. It is Aluminum and i would need either plates of aluminum cut out and welded on, or the holes filled in by welding. There are about 7 or 8 spots that need it done.

I called it!

depends most programs can reverse the image so it could possibly be her right hand.
