The Warbler,
BITD, I think I met you in Camp 4, circa 1970-1.
Interesting photo, and yes, quite unusual.
I did a lot of harm to my back ripping beams from logs, over a long period of time-30 years. I never used any type of mill, but just snapped chock lines, and ripped them free hand, wearing out a few big saws, over that period. This is just a snap-shot of only a few of them-mostly OAK.
Those on the bottom left are 12"x14" Oak beams which later became these in the living room.

^^^ Yep.
Didn't want to spend 3 hours driving and 40$ for a compatable sub base for my router. So I just made one out of an old scrap of laminate in about 30 minutes.

Nice. +10% on a few million never sucks. And the math is easy.

A little over a week ago I brought home 3 Tacoma loads of assorted sandstone pavers that were left over from a remodel we are doing in Boulder. I had no idea what I was going to do with them when I brought them home.
I guesstimated 80 sf, so after walking around with the wife we decided on a patio off of our back deck. The dogs like to do their duty here so the grass was dead or dying, and a patio would be easy to shovel free of snow for them and give me access to the wood shed just beyond. It also faces the Twin Sisters peaks, gets morning sun and afternoon shade, and a steady stream of large mammals like to emerge from the woods in that direction.
Last Sunday I laid out a 6'x12' rectangle with a 14" planting bed against the house, then added a rounded 3'x6' transition walkway and stairs from the side of the deck. I removed the top soil, laid heavy landscape cloth, then tamped down a 6" base of sand that I gathered from the cul de sac in front of my house; mixed with mag chloride and deposited free by Boulder county, it works nice and sets up like a rock once it gets wet and then dries out.
I put the finishing touches on today, including a redwood cover to hide the gutter drain that shoots out under the stairs and into the swale that bypasses the corner of the patio. The corner post was drilled and epoxied in place with a 3/8" rod as a dowel, 3" into each the post and base. I had one 24" square paver with a clipped corner, so I set it in the center oriented to the four directions.
Getting dark as I did a final sweep and set some furniture in place, but now it's all ready for coffee in the morning.
Edit for the AM pic.
