Anyone ever do interlock brick?
I want to put an interlock brick deck in back. I can't afford to have it done professionally... I was quoted $15,000, which is way out of my price range.
Now, if I was to do it myself I would want to do it slow and in stages. Every "do it yourself" video on youtube has 5 guys going at it and they do everything in a day.
Things I'm concerned about:
(1) If I dig down a foot for the base, and then it rains, I'm gonna have a 2nd swimming pool.
(2) Are you supposed to tamp down the ground before adding the gravel, or just tamp the gravel once it is added? Because if I dig down the foot, and add the gravel, subsequent rains will reduce the flatness of the ground under the gravel.
Also, if anyone knows where to get good information, I'd love to know. A friend of a friend does this for a living, but he keeps saying "you do the programming, let me do what I do...". *HE* wants the $15,000.
