You can view products here. https://www.adamslandscapesupply.ca/ https://creativelandscapedepot.com/ You likely have similar places near you. They supply the contractors. I know the yards I deal with have good contractors they will recommend so maybe you want to start there. Have a look at the stone you want use and ask who has been buying it lately, get a look at some of their work. Ask to see projects that are under construction or have been down for sometime. Anyone can make it look pretty for the short run. Base prep is the key for getting a long life from any patio. Are you thinking dry laying it or mortared down? One of my landscapers does a halfway between deal where he compacts A-gravel them puts down an inch of mortar to bed the stones then he grouts with Polymeric sand. Its a good compromise. Supply houses are great for referals. QUality contractors pay their bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry ginger Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 looking at the market a pure NASDAQ investment would have been best for almost everyone the last 3 years. pretty much doubles the S&P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertising Member Seatofmypants Posted August 21, 2020 Advertising Member Share Posted August 21, 2020 I took a little heat when I moved my 401k balances earlier this year. Very happy with these returns! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I jumped out of Amazon around 3000, and bought/sold Tesla a half dozen times for double digit gains each time in the last 6 months. I have to keep reminding myself up is up, and not have regrets at the levels those two stocks are trading at right now. Yesterday I think Tesla was trading at 122x earnings....nuts. Still think we're not out of the woods yet. But, If I can make 20% in a couple days, I'll take it all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice. By the sounds of it we may have trouble finding anyone before winter. Be nice though to have a plan and contractor in place for next season.

Bottom line is you love to dish out the insults, and then when its dished back in kind, you hang onto the grudge like a little fucking girl. I said that over a year ago and after shit from you, and here you are still whining about it. Maybe quit running your mouth so much, Mr. afraid to show his face in real life.
