Day 5 of patio project

you may wonder what happened to day 2,3 and 4 of the patio! Well wonder no more. On day one Dad had come to help us and he and Dennis got it all set to lay pavers.
On day 2 thur Dennis and I laid out all the pavers and got them ready for cuts. Ok I carried pavers from the front yard to the back. Dennis laid most of them! Our nieghbors all came over to see what we were doing and to visit. Bob came by and offered to help so while I carried pavers the boys laid the pavers. So we had it all done by 10:30 at night. Well at least the main part.

On fri day 3 it rained and we could do nothing. We did find out they gave us the wrong saw to make out hundred or so cuts so we returned one saw and decided to wait till we have the patio ready for cuts 100% before getting the saw.

On Sat day 4 we went and got the saw and worked all day and got all the cuts made with the help of our nieghbors Mike and Terry. Thanks so much guys! We then had a fire to relax and enjoy the rest of the night before we had to get up to work some more in the morning.

Day 5 dawned cloudy but with no rain in the forcast. So I went and got the compactor while Dennis played with a few pavers he did not like. And we finally got to the finishing touches!! Only 1 paver broke in the compacting. So it is done!

The kids loved the compactor and had to watch that!! So they all got in on it.
