Thanks, that paver patio was a bitch, 12 tons of stone in there !!! I humped every load full from the front to the back. It was worth it when i sit back there with a jack and coke it makes it all feel right. :) I almost have the yard where I want it. Id like to do the whole yard in arborvites but the cash is tight right now. I also have to get the grass right in the back. The wife and I are in negociations for a pool next year. I almost have her won over!! We will see, Im gonna post up more pics of the patio when i get a chance. There are some spots wehre you can tell its an ammature job but overall its pretty good. I got price quotes from several companies before I did it all my self. Prices ranged anywhere from 40k-60k:eek: That was plants patios scaping everything. I did it all for un 15k. :p

nice update pics!

Do yourself a favor and get rid of that trampoline! I know a kid who broke his neck 2 summers ago, emergency surgery, months in the Rehab Institute of Chicago, still isn't 100%. All this from dropping from a standing position to his butt and his feet flipped over his head, breaking his neck.

T, thanks for the heads up. But, my kids love it, its exercise and it aint going anywhere. Christ they could get hurt playing baseball, football, or basketball but they do it.
