960 pavers on the wall, 960 pavers
Take 180 down, bring them in the back yard
Install them as a path to the pool (tomorrow)
780 pavers left on the wall (front driveway)
Another couple hundred for the basement entrance
The rest for the front walk

oh yay...
I'm feeling better
I guess tomorrow will be the test

Is a paver the same thing as a pavement stone? Like blue stone or what not? Sounds like work...

So, waiting for her to get some sleep before I start

I just helped me dad lay 8 large crate things of pavers. I never want to lay another paver again but atleast I made some money to support my addiction.

50 more - started the front walk

only 607 more to go

Front walk area needs a lot more prep work then the other areas

We went car shopping for a couple hours, looking at the Chevy HHR

246 left, they are all going out back for a path between the pool & house

Next year I am redoing part of the pool patio area
10' x maybe 20' area

This will be the bar area & grille/kitchen setup
I'm going install a sink that will be fed by a garden house
Then behind the cabana will be a solar powered shower

Man, thats alot of work, and I thought filling up holes with 3 truck loads of dirt for the past 3 days was tough. Wait a minute, it was! Good luck getting it all done. Nice looking car by the way, but it has a bit too much of a PT Cruiser look for me.
