Yeah man I bought that same sk set at a pawnshop and it is badass!! Great quality and its all there.. Except a swivel .. Throw one in there.. There's a little storage place inside thats perfect for swivel. And yeah the one drawback is the ratchet switcher takes two hands. But its OK. Good luck
I used to work for Arlington pavers and we did a lot of huge jobs. We would get some sand and some concrete sand mix in a bag and mix it up and put it on top and brush into the cracks, compact/ vibrate it in and then another layer of sand, brush it in. And the brush off all the extrash sand/...
Yeah rocks are most maintenance free and look good. And you can always lay down some flag stone and put potted plants on them or some homemade yard art.. Just an idea. Good luck!
Probably be hard for you to get but I've got two union pacific lanterns my brother got me. He's a conductor. They are really great man. Compact and a lantern and beam setting. Led bulbs. They use them on the track daily. I'm sure you can find one on eBay. I know they're are plenty of others out...
