I spoke to you this morning concerning the proper foundation for a garden shed. I would like to confirm that I will require 2 patio stones stacked under each deck block.
Answer:
If I remember rightly, you talked about a rather unstable footprint. I'd put in a 24x24 patio stone with another (probably 18x18" for aethetic purposes)on top of that to place the deck blocks onto. Make sure the 24x24" ones are level so the others don't end up sliding off them as winter heavage takes place.
In the interests of retaining credibility and in fairness to all, I cannot recommend prices, people nor companies for various projects.
Remember, even if you don’t do your own work around the house have to hire someone, you put yourself at a great advantage when you can intelligently discuss a project with the various trades people.
