I finally bought a house in Carmel Valley; prices there will now tank.

[quote=dejams]I end up with pavers because they more stronger and do no crack like stamped concrete. [/quote]

Just a word regarding concrete. Stamped or troweled will not crack if prepared properly.

1. Compact the foundation with a ‘wacker’ ( power compactor)
2. 4-6″ gravel base
3. Use 3/4″ rock in your concrete and 3/8″ rebar. Not the 3/8″ “grout pump mix” and wire mesh.
4. Expansion joints or saw cuts.

Pavers are great but have a different more industrial ‘look’ than concrete.

I went with flagstone when I remodeled. It was a PITA for the contractors to install though.

Congratulations, zk! 🙂

Hope you enjoy your new home.

Sorry CV didn’t tank, but at least you know you’ve bought into an area that’s pretty resilient.

Now it’s time to stop watching housing prices and begin **living** again! 🙂

Do NOT get an outdoor cat that close to a canyon. Coyotes will take care of both the cat and the rabbit.

Kid will be far more traumatized at having a pet eaten than a wild rabbit.
