Oh no, don't tell me Scott talked you into buying one of those monster saws like his? You can buy a car for the price of a blade! And is that your whole rough collection? If so, you better get back out there and build it up.

Actually he did kind of kick my arse into gear a couple weeks ago with an offer I'll be ready for (hopefully) next time... Are you saying I've got a small rough pile? quality over quantity I always say. My best pieces are spread out all over the back yard ... and front yard ... and under the patio deck ... and in the garage.. Haha

No cars I would own can be had for 70# of rocks, nor the few hours of work it took to collect them. 24" Crimped chinese blades at Q were $125 and four of them will last way longer than a $500 303. Tommy, a BIG saw may be too heavy for those little pavers. Certainly mine is too heavy for that setup.

We mainly wanted to get the electrical ran - and we had an opportunity with an electrical contractor friend Eva keeps books for - he came out and ran the circuit at materials cost... and a taco at the local mexican food dive. Hope you aren't right about the pavers after all that pretty saw-planting work we did! haha They are thicker than they look - they are half buried in bark/mulch - plus the ground is pretty hard in that area.

I guess you'll know if it's adequate once you get a big mutha saw on there, lol!
Good deal on getting your electric ran - a taco??? Must've set you back, what - a couple of bucks?? Ya know I'm just teasing you... How long do you suppose before that saw pops up?

Does this mean no more fist size rocks? May have to get one of those 12v cranes for the bed of your Toyota!

Hopefully not too long...what's the germination period on a saw seed anyway?

Can't wait until you show all the slabs.

The germination time on saw seeds is directly correlated to the outdoor temperature and the rate of beer consumption. The warmer it is outside the better, sprinkle a few cans in the planter but not too much or you might stunt the progress or get one coming out sideways.
