My first thoughts of building our outdoor table were weak. That's not so bad. On the one hand, my first idea got scrapped. On the other hand, I have been alerted to new and better possibility. I accept that this process will take time. Therefore, I will create a deadline of Thanksgiving to complete construction of the table. This is the best idea I have had on the subject so far.
This project requires me to re- grade the whole patio. I have to invent a method to level the whole patio and provide a proper foundation to bear the load of the table and pedestal while not overloading my spine. There's the slab on the porch in the top photo. I want to put it where the table is in the bottom photo. I have to cause the slab on the porch to float down the steps and across the patio to the base. Then the slab has to be turned to the horizontal with all the care of a space shuttle maneuvering to dock with the space station. Finally, the slab has to be set in place on top of the base and this job is done.
I may use something other than brick for the table pedestal. Becky may want the table lengthwise parallel to the fence or lengthwise parallel with the house or at some point in between. We have time to carefully consider the details.
