Anybody have experience laying flagstone? I've done plenty stonework but
never flagstone. I have 44 pieces averaging 132 pounds each lying on the
ground like a big jigsaw puzzle that now needs to get put together. Am
doing a front walk and entranceway, ramada floor and walk from ramada to
driveway.
I used the project as an excuse to buy a new tool, a Makita 4.5-inch angle
grinder. Now I have to learn how to use it and the stone chisel and hammer
to lay the stones with minimal waste and pretty joints.
One good thing, the temps are predicted to stay under a hundred for today
and the next week. We're having a cool wave.
