Getting Ready For A Big Job

    We have been collecting rocks for over a month and we now have a huge pile. We went to El Paso today and bought the materials to start on our front patio which will be made with the rocks. The patio will be 11 feet by 40 feet and will be a closed in screened shelter. The 350 foot trout stream we are building will run under it at one end so I am very excited to get started on this.
    Tomorrow morning we will start tearing up the soil with the auger to make it easy to just press in the rocks and level them. We are mixing the dirt with portland. Once the portland is mixed and the rocks are in place we will wash it all in, solidifying the portland and holding the rocks permanently in place.
    I will be sure to add pictures once we get started. I think it is going to be amazing!
