Sidewalk
Lifted another 3 inches -- the sidewalk stub to the front stairs now lands halfway up the second rung of the stair. I still need to get edging (I'll use a rubber mallet to tap all of the bricks together, then put edging along the mauka side of the sidewalk -- makai is a long ways up from the curb so I may need to spend shitloads of money to get some edging stones and set them into place), a bunch of topsoil (to bring the grade up to the level of the sidewalk, and, of course, I need to put about half an inch of sand over the top of the bricks and use a 4x4 to bed them evenly into the base.
(in the context of mauka/makai, the Big Yellow House is the mountains and 17th Ave is the ocean.)
