Circular paver driveway

[txdon]

Okay, one double-final dumb idea. . . You might add a compass rose in the Q-section. It would normally be in the center, but I doubt Karen would let you cut down that tree.:laughing:

UPDATE: Last 2 pictures taken today.

Here is the Quote that cost me 3 months! See progress below! Jim the "dumb" idea will be the focal point of the drive, it is looking good! The circle and directional arrow/points are cut in, I will continue to lay and cut in pavers around the points. The white block border will highlight the points.
(The final alignment and leveling will be done right before the polymer sand is applied.)
(And yes Ron the direction alignment was made with the assistance of the iPhone, +-1 degree)

Great job. Hows the saw holding up?
I just noticed that you have grass growing where pavers were stored.

Don,

That is simply awesome.

I look forward to your surprise.

Be well,
David

The Harbor Freight wet tile saw is still happily slicing away. :thumbsup: I'm on my 3rd diamond blade. The blade lasted a long time on the clay pavers but on the cement white blocks it wore away fast. I had to cut the 12" white cement blocks in thirds to the get the right size white border strip.

The green in the middle is month old Crimson Clover. Hopefully by the time I'm finished the middle will be a red spring surprise.

Nice looking job Don! I did some paver walkways and that's about all my patience can handle.:thumbsup:

Cold and rainy, 39 temps are supposed to drop into the low 30's by dark with an up to an inch of wet snow this afternoon and evening! This is November 7 on the Eastern Shore, the very earliest laying snow I have seen since moving here in 1973 was Nov.12 1987.

Don, that's proof that if I come up with enough dumb ideas, every once in awhile, I'll throw out a gem. You've surely made something people will comment about and you'll be proud of for a long time. It's icing on the cake!:thumbsup:

 

[txdon]

Yep Jim you (I) got lucky this time. My dumb ideas just seem to stay that way.

Don,
You definitely outdid yourself on this project. Awesome!
hugs, Brandi

So I trust that you're aligning to True North, not magnetic?? :wink:


Anyway, looks very nice.
