Having a super bad hair day and it's only half way through.
Trying to lay the stone.
First problem is I don't have near enough sand. The base material isn't good for getting the stone to settle in.
I'm really having issues trying to chop the stone. It's pretty tough. I really need a saw or something. My plan was to get the stones really close together so I could just pour in the polymeric sand in small gaps. But that isn't happening.
Also, the stone on one pallet isn't the same thickness as the stone on the other pallet.
So, I'm going back to plan something or other where I leave bigger gaps and fill them with the grey gravel. I did a small test area (pic below). It looks ok now but I know it's gonna look like crap after a year or so. Leaves and junk all in that gravel. And the gravel will constantly be popping out onto the stones.
But, all of that isn't the root cause of my bad hair day. Basically I'm doing this because I really need to stay in my job to retire at some point in time. But, I'm at the breaking point. I just can't tolerate this job anymore. And, I don't want to live here anyways. The whole point of trying to fix up my house just seems pointless now. /whine
