Yea the entire point of casual is that there's no consequences no commitment it doesn't matter but then they make you commit. Stupid.

Sand is rated coarse -> fine

“Sharp sand” is coarse sand, like concrete sand. Mason/Playground sand is much finer so it feels “softer”.

That is why I mentioned, if you must use sand, to use a coarse sand like concrete sand BUT it should still ONLY be used as the top 1” of bedding under the pavers, and NOT used for the base foundation. Even then, I would still recommend DG or 1/4” chip stone for the 1” bedding instead of sand.

Watch a few videos by “The Christian Hardscaper” on YouTube.

Btw I sent you a PM if you want to check it out!

It’s a little hard to see at this angle, but I think they’ve got a few inches of space between the bottom of the trunk and the bottom of the cvac. OP, find a way to fasten the top of your wall to the joists. It’ll be far better than relying on the blue 2x4. It’ll probably involve cutting the cvac in a few places and gluing it back together with couplings.

I forget where I heard this but I agree that New Jerseyans are kind but not nice, whereas Californians are nice but not kind.

Like a Jerseyan will fix your tire on the side of the road but then call you a dumbass for not knowing how to do it yourself. A Californian will sympathize with your plight but then shrug and drive on.
