' licensed, insured, AND bonded ' ? ? ? permits ? ? ? does 1 also need to call 811 ? ? ?

i'd guess pavers are the least expensive but, if you're physically challenged, they can be heavy to horse around if diy,,, they SHOULD be installed on a compacted gravel base then locked into place w/polymeric sand - both avail @ apron/vest stores,,, depending on size, probably wouldn't need base for concrete. 80# bag will yield 2sf @ 4" thickness - rebar, fiber, OR welded wire mesh not necessary BUT don't make the pad too large or you will need a control joint or 2 to prevent random cracking 8' x 10' would require 2 control jnts whereas 4' x 5' could be 1 piece

does 1 need arc approval for temp ext flooring such as pavers ? after all, they can be removed in a heartbeat if necessary, + won't interfere w/buried utilities,,, just asking....

just how restrictive are the arc rules ?

suppose we'll discover @ end of month when we move in - thanks in adv
