On our second day of paver laying we called in some senior slaves - they started out with much enthusiasm.
By late morning we were working our way around the deck - lots of cutting and measuring but they were quite good at it.
By this time my hands and knees were complaining and I was thinking nap, but ....
Those boys just kept moving forward so I tried to keep up. It is my patio after all.
I did have to downgrade to just leveling sand and leave paving to the big guns.
This sidewalk goes forever before reaching the corner, let me tell you. (BTW, note my lengthy contemplation of paint colors on the side of the house - didn't like any of those)
Daddy Dave did most of the saw work. It was much easier once we got it up on this makeshift table.
We're on the home stretch. Actually "we" didn't include me at this point. I came up with an errand I really had to do.
Finally, the last brick! We had some real bonding time today - and I totally love it!
