I will surely do...actually I want to show off my home made picnic table which sits on the patio.. it costs me $200+ for the materials only Costco or HomeDepot sells one for 70 bucks ,of course, they would not use West Red cedar )
There is huge difference. By using compactor the base is very solid. I ever try the hand hammer, there is no way to achieve the effect. If you are building a formal patio, I strongly suggest u renting compactor.
Also, it is too late for me to change the white stones: they have been laying down there
