Our big project this year on our house is a new patio in the back. The existing cement slab is so ugly and too small for the proportions of our yard. So we took on putting pavers over 660 square feet to liven it up and create a more liveable outdoor space.
Don came over to help us and help us he did! He and Andrew worked so tirelessly through the day all the way into the night hauling gravel, sand, and bricks into the backyard then meticulously measuring and setting it up. Don also has done this kind of stuff before so he had great advice which we appreciated since we're new to it.
Halfway through the day. We went with an offset basket weave pattern.
Andrew is getting really good at cutting the bricks. He did an awesome job cutting bricks to go around the deck supports.
Me the big pregnant lady finally helped at the end of the night while my mom put Arlie to bed. The guys had stopped the cutting for the night so they were just screeding and placing brick. And the only place I felt I could help without getting in the way was with the paver-laying.
We thought we'd stop when Don and my mom left for the night but we couldn't help ourselves and kept going. We even broke into the 3rd pallet of pavers which puts us more than halfway through! Andrew and Don are going to finish it this week.
