Question:

The fire alarm is going off at my hotel, should I evacuate?

Its 1:30 in the morning and I am trying to sleep, but the alarm just went off. I looked out my deck and there was nobody outside and no sign of any fires. Nobody else seems to be evacuating the hotel except a few people. There are even some people night swimming and not caring that the alarm is going off. Should I just ignore it and go back to sleep? I don't want to go down 5 floors of stairs.

Answer:

Push the buttons on the MY CELL PHONE. LOL Looser.
It depends on whether the angle is measured relative to a horizontal line (the ground) or relative to a vertical line (building face). If it is 10° relative to the ground, the answer is 680.55 feet. [120' / tan 10°] If it is 10° relative to a vertical line, the answer is 21.16 feet. [120' x tan 10°]
The most important thing is to have a flat firm surface to lay the paving on . Once you have your area defined lay a border to keep it contained using wood, or rubber edging. Bricks or granite blocks are great for a more formal look The best thing to do would be to lay a 3-4 layer of stone dust on top of your cleared area and rent a compacter to tap it down, If you can't afford a compactor you can use an old fashioned seed roller filled with water or a hand tamper. If it's near your foundation be sure to slope it slightly so water will run off and away from your foundation. Once it's tamped down you can lay your paving. If you are doing a large patio lay the the largest pieces first where you might want to place furniture of a BBQ, then fill in with the smaller ones. try to keep an even gap around all the pavers 1 to 1 1/2 to fill with more stone dust to lock them in place. For walkways just try to keep the largest pieces evenly dispersed through out the whole walkway for the best effect. when you have you paving set, fill gaps with more stone dust and use a small trowel or piece of wood to tamp the seams down lightly wetting it also helps just keep tamping and filling until you have a relatively even surface.
