I live in a magickal world, which I create myself with imagination and hard work. And I like chai tea. My citrus photo is awesome, down-vote it all you like.

Racing slug!
Good point. Stone bites are rarely clean or straight
Less likely to cut off a finger, as with carpentry, but more likely to slip and drop a 200 pound stone on your foot.
I know that's what it was originally mad for, but it's not my first choice. Seems chemically/plasticy.
Thank you. Words are tricky, you're doing good.
I too have goals that seem difficult, financially. I was in business for myself for 15 years before getting my own house. You can do it
Thank you
Correction: 8 foot 1 inch is not equal to 1 point six four small boulders.
Lovely. I'm a lucky man, life's good.
Agreed. It's Pennsylvania Bluestone, not slate though.
I concur
Correct. I will lead lost hardscapers back to the light side of the force, if possible.
I remember when poly sand was new, back in 2002...don't like it. Material beneath the stone will settle. A semi loose stone dust joint will settle in to fill the void. Then you just top off the joints. As far as weeds go--it's never been a big problem. Just pour boiling water on them when you make your morning tea. or use a torch. But often, in a natural stone patio--a plant doesn't look so wildly out of place. I check in on my patios 10, 15 years later--still looking good.
1/8" minus. Minus means with dust.
No. 6-8" of road base--3/4"minus then 1/8" minus as the leveling and joint material.
Polymeric sand is prone to failure, and dosn't stop weeds once it cracks up, as described in another response. Edging pops up and looks bad--use large stones on the edge. 11 years teaching, 19 years in business doing hardscapes.
When you install it you hose it down and a filmy microplastic slop washes out into your lawn and/or garden. ALSO it forms a semi rigid plastic joint.....but the material beneath that plastic joint will settle. So you've created a void. Problems ensue. Poly sand will crack up and fail. Eighth Inch minus crushed stone is the material to level out your flagstones with and fill the joints with.
True. I can only agree with you completely on this.
Those were 2 of the worst years ever for me too--but then again, I coulda dodged both of those trains, if I'd been a bit wiser.
peanut butter and jealous
Thank you. Not yet, probably not like you're thinking anyway. Some of my cairn towers look like fireplaces. One of my dry stone mosaic pieces is an outdoor fire place.
I see you are an art connoisseur of class and distinction.
The good stuff was pr 2015. What you want the new star wars? Or that "i'm in love with the shape of you" song?
The world actually ended in 2012. This is what they replaced it with.
I know Kung Fu
Yes, let's.
It was a golden age, the Before Time
I used to spend a good bit of time, on Mount Joy and Mount Misery. Writing and drawing with no other people around.
Thank you. I'm happy to have a piece on public display, close to where I'm from.
I used to work in Oaks, and would walk from work into VF park often. Well I'd drive 1/4 mile from work, to park at VF's edge.
