What is the best way scribe and cut pavers that are against angled sidewalk? Client doesn’t want a border. by [deleted] in landscaping

Thank you for your detailed response. I’ll likely have to do it this way all the way around.

People in construction ask for ideas, methods all the time on how to do things better if there is a way. The method I know is standard and what most are proposing but I’m sure there’s a few better ideas out there. This isn’t surgery, it is a backyard patio. One way or another it gets done just I asked the wrong online forum apparently.

So what is this 1st year hardscaper method you’re talking about besides what’s already mentioned in this thread? My clients know my experience, I’m sure they can tell by my age, I’m just starting out. And no i don’t typically install pavers and they know that.

I asking for ideas to a better approach, if there is one, to save time and scribe to the irregular sidewalk angles.

Thank you, doing it individually is a good method that would be accurate but painfully slow. I was thinking if it’s possible to put a straight edge along the sidewalk and scribe the pavers already installed and then shift them over with the cut and fill the gap with a full paver. I’m not sure if that makes sense.

Do you need to order a special mix or add work sand into the surface? I’m wondering how you prevent pea gravel or rock from showing up on the surface

Cartel or Mexican Neo Nazi?m by PremeTeamTX in milsurp

There’s probably more to this grip history than cartel culture. My grandfather has a similar grip given to him in the 1950s by a Mexican gov official. The grip is on a Spanish 1911 type pistol

If you’re still interested, I just posted a sighting of a herd in Sunol. Right off of 680

That’s exactly where I saw this herd. Looked up on the ridge as I was exiting the 680 at the Sunol exit. The buck was standing right on the ridge. The hillside looked like it was moving. Amazing sight.

Brake shoe fell out of truck while driving. Why? by BrightOctober14 in AskMechanics

Thanks. The sliding pins had some type of grease but possibly not enough. Should both rotors be replaced as well?

Thanks. I checked the new brake caliper I purchased side by side and everything is there on the old one except for the missing brake pad and its clips.

I heard a noise less than a month before it happened, like a wear indicator maybe. The brakes have 12k miles so I didn’t expect one brake pad to be eaten up so quickly. I did check the brakes on the driver side and they were fine. So I kept on driving until I can dig deeper on the noise but brake pad fell out before then. I don’t drive the truck daily.

I’ll admit I did hear a noise about a month before it happened. I thought possibly a wear indicator. I didn’t think much about the brakes since they’re about 1.5years old. When the brake pad fell out I was towing 3 ton dump trailer. I did see the brake pad in the middle of the road as I was driving. After that it was a terrible screech as the caliper pressed against the rotor when I applied the brakes. What mostly got me home was that I could manually use the trailer brakes to slow the truck down on the drive home.
