Stone work by the lake

[nlpaintballer]

Some work I have been doing, right beside the water, so its been torture on nice days.

great spot for the pit, and what a view !

[nlpaintballer]

Thanks. Too bad it's not mine lol

 Just like these 2 docks. 

I hate the jobsites I work on lol.

Here is the start of the fire pit. Very tight joints on the flagstone. 1/4" or less.

As one landscaper to another, very well done! Your work is every bit as good as I think mine used to be.

Thanks. It's my bosses place. I did all the hardscape. Alot of cutting. I cut all the armour stone so that I had tight 1.5 inch joints to grout. As well as cutting all the flag, other than the square cut.

He was a little irritated that I like to use a line and level to shoot my grades i stead of a laser lol.

Laid the wet lay in November. Built the Tarp Mahal and heated it round the clock to cure the mortar. What a pain that was. I mean there is never any wind right on the water.🤥🤥

65 granite steps up from the water, with flagstone landings every 10 steps, and 2 flagstone patio/sitting areas on the way down.

I got really tired of hills.

[nlpaintballer]

Alot of working with the bedrock.

U-turn in 10 steps. With a 7' change in grade from the lower flagstone to the upper path.

Great job !!

My back hurts just looking at all you did...Nice job...(you deserve a bonus ???)

You are a true STONEMAN, amazing work. 

[nlpaintballer]

Thanks. I kinda cheat with the lifting part. I use a suction cup and mini-ex. All the cutting and leveling is a little beit of work. Especially in the heat.

It does come with some bonuses. Like barge missions with my fishing equipment.😁

I can think of a few places worse than that environment to spend working. Great work, you should be proud. How many Pike do you need to do a 20 foot walkway?

So is that a TS 460 with a banas blade? I do not envy the way your shoulders must feel swinging that around all day. 

[nlpaintballer]

Yep, the 460 for some, but usually I use the 800. It's more my size and the only one that will almost cut through steps. It is also the only one I use for cutting armor stone. 

As for the pike, what else are you supposed to do while barging back and forth for material?Love those beach jobs.
