What's gonna suck about the willow is in 15-20 years it's roots will push the wall over.

Nice work. I just put two in at my house, and you are right, the first row is a bitch.

I suggest you finish it off with a cap row...it really completes the look.

Nice work, but why didn't you use the rental truck to do the dirty work.

Maybe it would be more politically correct to ask....
"Where did you say that you got those over priced ornamental stones?"

Nice Job!
Wish I had your energy.
I too would have hired either some neighborhood kids, or some even cheaper homeless with a will work for food sign to do most of the manual labor.

Well, not to be a "buzzkill" but the people that have those signs will do most anything for money except work. Sorry to be the one to break it to ya.

Won't be my problem. I forsee another 3-6 years in this house tops... I'll enjoy it as is.

04 Red... I had to turn that thing back in... after destroying the moldings on it trying to break in to it, I really don't want to have it again... LOL!


mskid: Thought about it... just not sure how you make the turns and such with those things... will I have to cut them?
