Year 5, Day 190 “Living the Dream”. Friday, 11/07/2025 – The Wellington. Back to work getting the back patio and sidewalk filled in and ready to lay pavers. 25 tons of Dense Pack was delivered.
The Patio and sidewalk area is measured and lines are painted to mark the area. Four to eight inches of Dense Pack Base Gravel is placed to form a durable base. Dense Pack is ideal for beneath pavers and delivers a lasting performance and support. Its fine particles fill in gaps between larger stones. This creates a solid surface that resists shifting. It also prevents erosion and settling over time. We also will be compacting it. Compacting is optional if you let the Dense Pack sit long enough it will not need compacting at all.
The patio will be 23 x 14. It is a nice size. A four foot wide sidewalk goes under the deck to the patio.
A little something to ponder.
Here’s a link to today’s Amazon recommendation: https://amzn.to/492X2ol Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Straw: Perfect for traveling. Great on cruise ships. The ships water is fantastic. Much better than carrying the plastic water bottles. Especially if you are as concerned about adding more Microplastics in your body as I am. It is BPA, lead, and phthalate-free.
