How to Build a Paver Patio Rogue Engineer
On our barn/workshop we have a covered porch that gets used quite a bit. The covered area is a place to store my grill and transport material into the workshop. But it has also become a place to store bikes and other things, leaving us little space to entertain outside. To expand that area for storage and my new Pit Boss grill we decided to build a paver patio. I learned a ton throughout the process of researching and completing this project and I thought it was important to put together a thorough guide for others to learn. Read on to see exactly how it all came together!

It's easy to build - just build two of the leg sets -
Then make the table frame by adding the remaining aprons.
To support the cedar fence pickets, I added inner 2x4 supports. This makes the table super substantial.
Here's the umbrella framing I did.

ORB-sessed LED Sphere Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers
Squaring the circle is a mathematical challenge as old as geometry itself. The Cube Orb LED sphere inverts that goal and takes it to a new dimension. Notably, this spectacular project achieves its orbicular objective using only standard, easy to ORB-tain electronic components and 3D-printed parts.
