Dan,
This is what I had in mind ..

Notice, in your link, the patio fill never contacts the house wood. It is
against the house foundation. This is OK. Never bury wood you are just
creating a nice moist meal for bugs. All your flashing etc will just prolong
the inevitable. Nice looking patio, by the way.

Yep, I agree it looks nice.

If the wood could be removed and replaced with stone or cement,
I don't think there would be a problem.
