To augur is to predict or indicate. A black cat passing in front of you is said to augur bad luck, but if you love cats you can choose to believe that it augurs good luck instead. In the past, when you said you would augur the future it meant you would predict it. That form of augur is rarely used today, but the sense of prediction â connected to an object or event â remains. Dark clouds augur a rainstorm.
My supplier can supply 3m concrete gravel boards-have no idea if I am going to be able to lift one though! If the gravel boards are level, but the arris rails slope then you are correct about having to cut the close boards to fit-I hadn't thought about that. Will have to talk to my supplier again.Cheers.y supplier can supply 3m concrete gravel boards-have no idea if I am going to be able to lift one though!

Flatten the tip of the nail before driving it at the end of a board. The flattened tip punches a plug of wood from the board and reduces splitting. If you're using deck screws, predrill the holes at the end of the boards. Always cut out pieces that span at least two joist spaces. This keeps the new boards from splitting as they age. For best appearance, stagger the splices from one row to the next by at least one joist space.
