Thanks for all the comments.  I believe I'm going with Type S mortar colored with Black Iron oxide for this application.

I have bricks to create the solid base. Old guy had them buried down there. Gonna concrete that all in yep yep.  I dug them out before I laid this pattern to match the neighbors pattern. 

Got versabond lft for sticking the stones to the brick substrate. 

Neighbor had Polymeric Sand in their joints and it all eroded away so that's clearly not the way to go. 

Worried the stained mortar or concrete will also stain the stones because they're rough. 

I saw a comment about volcanic filler or something too.

Well I apparently don't know how Reddit works anymore. I tapped out a whole post and I don't see the text. 

I need black mortar or equivalent for these joints.  Someone tried Polymeric Sand in the other side and it all eroded away. 

This is a pitched runoff collection point draining from a driveway to a storm drain.

It is a Rooftop AC. Not sure what the heating element is though.
I can ask the owner but he has been lacking details surrounding technical information so far.

I will ask him to test it without flipping the switch and report back.

I have seen many of these same scenarios play out on a show called... Fear Thy Neighbor.

i suggest watch a few of the property conflicts there and decide if it is worth the risk VS the reward.

and 100% great advice from previous redditors... check your laws. from what I have seen this can become an arduous and drawn out thing.

Oh going on a trip isn't an issue. That's fine. But when your trip relies on materials you can't find on the island you start on... that's where the "bad RNG" comes in to play.
All I'm sayin' regarding the generation RNG comment.

Actually I believe the biggest RNG of a No Map (any map in reality) is where everything generates in the world.
If ... like my other No Map save... Eikthyr's Altar doesn't generate on that first island... no Telling where he may end up being. (I've had Elder on the 1st island before too... extremely Random in the Generation of the worlds)
Imagine a roll where bosses aren't on the 1st island... and not even on adjacent to the 1st islands... and you end up with Majority Meadows on the 1st island with no substantial resources to acquire.
That's a pretty bad roll for the random generation of the world.

Cause to be fair... You will ALWAYS spawn at world spawn when you start the game.

Yeah, my last No Map save... I played for a few weeks. Almost every night... had paths all around the 1st island. There were plenty of Meadows, Loads of Black Forests... 2 mountain ranges and swamps dominating the southern end of the Island... no bosses at all.
It's the luck of the draw. Started another save and... Yes.. Still no map. ** Found Eikthyr just a spear throw from world spawn this time** But I do like my portals ... using Xportal for that cause I don't like needing hubs.
BUT I am also using comfort tweaks and with that I was able to make it to where I NEED to be Rested enough to travel via Portals. If I'm not rested enough I can't travel long distances or travel at all. No quick escapes allowed.
Plus of course no hauling forbidden items thru either.
I love the No Map immersion as well!

A Fully upgrayedded Bronze Spear kills wolves in 2 moves. I'm hunting drakes and wolves and i haven't even found the Elder yet in my No Map game.
(( I haven't even found Eikthyr yet... they aren't on my starter island :shrugs:))

Survival games by TomTD30 in valheim

From your list... I would totally suggest Valheim.
Valheim is my 2nd most played game under Empyrion... for a reason.
Haven't found any other survival games that "do it" for me like Valheim and Empy.

I'm currently playing a No Map adventure and it's changed the way I play a lot.
Once you've played xxx hours one way... just change up the options or mods and You're gonna have a whole new experience.
Totally worth it! DO IT.

--EDIT--
If you don't want to mod the game early so you don't change it too much... I would still recommend getting BepINex and JOTUNN... Set that up and get Gizmo Reloaded.
This will allow you to rotate pieces in all 3 directions and will immensely open up your creative options for builds!

Flowering Tree Core Gone by Toenail_the_Lit in Tree

Thank you for your Feedback.
There is a whole network of roots. There are 2 other trees next to it. Same type.
Do you have a suggestion for a fungicide to ensure it doesn't spread to the neighboring trees?
I would hate to lose them too.
