Tim Carter describes a precast concrete paver patio system. While the stones at first seem random and individual, Tim shows how they are clever interlocking pieces of colored concrete.

In this Newsletter, working with an excavator helped uncover rounded boulders, deck cleaning tip, glass & metal countertops, the Spring Stain Solver Sale ends at midnight, change your washing machine hoses, review my eBook, the MAC Virus alert, plumbing vent pipe video and poured vs concrete block foundations.
