Circular paver driveway

[txdon]

Looking at it again it's kind of like a "R". The "R" has short fat unequal legs and long top part with a slightly curved forward back. The legs are the entrance and exit points. I'll get the inside and outside measurement from the top part of the "R" tomorrow.

The outside measurement of the circle (including curb) is 72' 10" and the inside is 48' 3".

That is going to be one fine looking project! Good to see you back in action again Don.

Thanks, Don. That seems like a good size. Our town requires a 90' dia turnaround for firetruck access, if your driveway is over 300' long. We're over 2x that, so we need the turnaround. I was just curious how it stacked up for size, even though I had a feeling it was large. Ayep, it is...

The other part of my curiosity was the inner dia, as I do not want to pave over a full 90' circle, but make it a ring like yours, so that's why I was looking for the I.D. It is good to get a sense for what the actual dimensions mean.

Thanks again!

Interesting. The hard packed yard between the house, garage and tractor shed is about twice that size so I would be legal even for your FD. I really don't want our new 1500 gallon fire truck on the paver drive way. Good thing I'm the one driving it most of the time and we have long hoses.

Don...Are you OK? Haven't heard from you. Hope all is well.

Do you stop at the Chiropractor when you 1st get to town or on the way back home???? Just kidding. Good Day.

Kyle, doing good, slow but good. I was going to take pictures when I poured the sand today but the sprinkle in the morning made the pavers wet. The pavers must be absolutely dry or the polymer sand will stick to the surface of the pavers making a big mess. By the time they did dry I was busy in the garden and I want a full day for this step, hopefully tomorrow section one, (of seven) consisting of 1300 pavers, will be complete only 10 days behind schedule.

Below is a picture of section one from last week when I was about 1/3 done.
I found about 6 different colors of the clay pavers in the stacks.

I'm getting slower at working and faster at playing. I'm running 20 miles a week and tonight I did my fastest 3 miles at a 8:22 pace and feeling good. :thumbsup:

Don, try not to let the tax man see what you're doing there - He's gonna figure you can fix all the county's financial problems.

(Translation: Lookin' good!)

Don,
That is looking so pretty. I'm going to have to stop by and see all when you are finished. Finished, not before. I don't want to be drafted!
hugs, Brandi
