So I've been working on my patio...
...which is a lot of hard work, but I enjoy it so. The
entire patio area has to be dug out, then a layer of gravel
has to be poured in and leveled, then a bed of sand has
to go on top of that, leveled and tamped down before you
put down the pavers. Quite the effort, but well worth it.
However, my girlfriend had some issues with my choice of
bricks I was about to put down. She was concerned about
their condition, whether or not they've been used before,
etc. Since I had a good-sized brick with me, I pulled it
out and showed it to her. At first she was a little frightened
at the sheer size of my brick, but then informed me that
although she's seen larger bricks, she was accustomed to
much smaller ones. I assured her that the size of the brick
wasn't as important as how well it was laid...she just said,
"yeah, sure."
Then she started in on how old my brick looked, and why
there was so much moss on it. I tried to explain that the
moss wouldn't affect its performance, but she just said,
"maybe, but I'M still the one that's gotta look at
it." Fine. So I cleaned off as much of the moss as
I could...which made the brick look bigger, but also exposed
all the damage that's happened to it over the years. She
then informed me that she wanted nothing to do with a brick
that's been tumbled so many times.
We finally reached an agreement when I informed her that
this would be the last bed this brick would lay in, and
that even though the brick may get mossy, I'll do my best
to keep it free of bugs. She seemed to appreciate that.
Next summer I'm thinking of building a cage for my rooster.
Lazy Days of Summer
We can't get enough of this place. Saturday night
we're up in Powell at the legendary Lazy
Chameleon of Sawmill. After a lovely week of Columbus
weather, bring your soggy butts out to the hottest place
in central Ohio for food, froth and frolic to your favorite
80s music. Get there EARLY if you want a table. Get
there late if you're happy with looking in the windows...
For more information, directions to the clubs or if you
feel like somebody's watching you:
