When Tig was researching pavers for our driveway, he scoured the metro area for quarries, stoneyards and gravel places. He would even look at Google satellite map images and compare different location sizes to see if they really had, “the largest selection” of stones. He called many places, but visited only a handful to scope out prices and selection. Thankfully, I was spared the shopping experience during the parking spot project.Last weekend, however, he twisted my arm and made me look at stones for hours.
We looked at blue stone (multiple, tara multiple, georgia multiple), field stone, slate, thin wall stones, granite cobbles, limestone treads, flagging, pavers…
We were trying to figure out what types of stones or pavers we liked that would fit into our landscape master plan.
I needed to lie down after that…

I adore your site! The American Gothic photo is excellent. Your site is so influential that I’m planning to go out and get some Soft Hands gloves.
You guys are doing amazing work on this house. So inspiring! I feel completely lazy compared to you two. Do you work on the house every day? Do you have jobs?
I can’t seem to get the energy to do house remodelling on weeknights. Maybe I should…after all there’s only 52 weekends in a year and we all know that sometimes you gotta go on vacation! That certainly doesn’t add to much getting done in a year.
I’m looking forward to reading more. I’m still working my way through your site (currently on Aug 6, 2006).
Take care you two. I’ll be watching! But not in a creepy way

Just wondering, what stone yard is that? Call me lazy, but given how nice your wall turned out, I’d rather take advantage of the research you did and spend my time on the actual work.
Thanks!
