Fucking buy from a local lumberyard, you'll get better quality and be supporting local business.
My local lumberyard sells the same shitty twisted, knotted 2x4s as home depot. Pressure treated lumber is garbage too. My mom's deck is falling apart. Had to replace the steps after like 6 or 8 years and they cupped and split open. Railings are junk too.

Mine sells real nice stuff, plus they deliver it for free.
 
16 gallon broadcast sprayer was consistently leaving about a 1 to 1.5 gallons in the bottom of the tank due to the pickup tube hovering about an inch above the base of the tank.



Made a new one with two pickup tubes, and have it hovering about 3/8ths off the base of the tank, close enough to not leave much in the bottom of the tank, but not so close that it suctions to the bottom of the tank
 
Looks good man. I like that walk with the exposed stone - would never last here but in your climate, hell yeah. Nice little man-corner :cool:

I hate that path. It collects the pea gravel from the landscaping around it (which is plentiful, since the dogs throw it around), and the gravel blends in like a hillbilly in realtree. Shit's worse than lego to walk over.
