We accomplished our stepping stone patio by two of us.

Of course, mostly from my hubby. Before, during and after pixies. We removed grass, added weed barrier material twice to overlap, filled paver sand 4 to 5 inches thick, added stepping stones, spray paint black cinder blocks as edge by left side of the stepping stone patio. We got 75% free from demolition sites that our friends owned their demolition business. That helped a lot with our limited budget.

Sorry those pixies are not in order. I tried to sort those pixies but I did not know how to do that here.

    Budget or not, the demolition reuse is fascinating. You have to put your thinking cap on to use what you have, and it worked well. I'd like to see a whole house constructed using your method. Way to go, keep up the good work!

    Best, Charles

    Peace painting Co, Inc TY. That will be cool to see a whole house constructed from demo materials. We also got ceiling fans, shutters, rocks..... that is all I cud think of. That is wonderful to save from landfill and money.
