After 3 long weekends, thousands of pounds of dirt, gravel, and pavers being dug, shuttled, and set, we finally have our patio. Angie and I are both amazed at how it came out. While it's still a homeowner special, it did come out pretty clean overall. I began setting pavers Friday evening at about 6:30 and worked until the bugs came out in force at about 8:30. Zach assisted by carrying pavers from the wheelbarrow to me while I leveled sand. We started again first thing Saturday AM and had the pavers in and joints begun to be filled by 4PM-Just in time to get to Zach and Noah's premier in Snow White. After a grueling day it was a blast to see them in costume on stage! More on that in another post...
Next up is the raised flower bed along the patio. More back-breaking work but quite a reward at the end!
Tip of the week: Use a 1/8 oz. spinner when catching trout - 1/2 rips their mouth apart!
