New Patio

Handtruck. One of the ones with the bigger knobby tires. Load up a stack, place several stacks near the work area...

I found I could get about 12 of the wall blocks I was using in a stack before the handtruck got unmanageable. About 300 lbs.

I have one from Tractor Supply that says its rated at 1000 lbs. I know I've had close to that on there hauling wood. No rural place should be without one.

Northern Tool sells it, too.

Had some help tonight!

No one wants to see me in the hot tub that is for sure. All will be spared that scene!!

Lift truck helped out a lot. My solid filled tires were able to handle 4 at a time which made for smoother work. Thanks for the tip.

They "help" will look back on the project years from now when you all are setting there. Something to be said for working together on such things. Looking like all your work is coming together really nice.

Thanks Eddie; I assume you mean to have kids as young as mine or were you implying that I was the guy on the right in the picture? LOL!

Tub came yesterday and the weather has cooperated to get most of the wall completed. Order lights, transformers and the fire pit. Still need some more corner blocks and have to figure out how to finish my corners where I have the seats. Just can't wrap my head around what will look right and finish it off proper.

I really appreciate the compliments and advice men. Always nice to have someone in your corner steering you the right way!!

Here is an updated photo with the fire pit in. We have moved on to the work in the house now that my yard and driveway is an ice skating rink. Can't wait until Spring to pave the driveway!

Merry Christmas fellas!!

That came out great. Who's peeping out the sidelight?

Very nice Rob, you will enjoy that for years to come. Our patio has become our summer hangout, well worth all of the effort, and very rewarding when you can
say you did it yourself. Your under cap lights look very similar to the ones I used.
good job
