My Pinterest Hardscaping Fail (And What Actually Works Here)

I wanted a "naturalistic" stone path. What I got looks like a rock avalanche frozen in time.

Baur's hardscape gallery showed me why my DIY attempt failed:

NJ freeze-thaw cycles demand proper base layers

Slope matters for drainage

There's an art to stone placement

Marlboro-Specific Lessons:

Bluestone > gravel for our weather

Permeable bases prevent icy patches

Curves look more intentional than my wobbly lines

Current status: Calling my disaster "abstract art" while planning a redo.

Some people will have to learn how to appreciate you by losing you. So true for me. Considering one now. #mylifeplannersquotes #lifequotes #learnthehardway https://www.instagram.com/p/COD_Q09p-Ml/?igshid=1ffrxmh5nz6xb

[aboutthisgirl]

She has a spark. Some see it in her eyes. She feels it in her soul. She loves big. She hurts big. She feels everything. She is empathetic. She knows heartbreak . She feels it deeply in her soul. Sometimes the heartbreak dampens the spark.

How it started

Small town, Ontario Canada, girl raised in poverty with one parent. Yup that;s me, the oldest of 4, 2 sisters and a brother from another father. 

Parents divorced when I was only 4, leaving mom with 2 babies and another one on the way...

I became a big sister quickly and at a young age helping mom to take care of my sisters. 

She barely worked at all and we were raised on such wonderful things as Kraft Dinner and Mock chicken.... To this day I can’t stand the sight or smell of either lol  I often have to because my grandchildren still eat that crap. lol

Despite not having any kind of support system, I did well in school and I actually enjoyed it.  I never really applied myself but in the end I graduated high school with a B- Average.. Not bad for not trying and just getting by day to day

I regret not applying myself and doing much better, but from it I learned I loved French (will always wish we had French Immersion back then) and Accounting. I swore after high school I would pursue a career in Accounting.... Never did :(
