A brick layer knows his stuff! I tackled putting the pavers back down in the atruim yesterday. I started to do it last week but got totally frustrated because they seemed to have to go back in so precise. Brady offered to do the job but since he works such long hours, I wanted to help out plus the fact that it was bugging me I failed at my first attempt. This time I started on the opposite end where it looked a little easier. I got the hang of it after a few atttempts and even developed my own techniques. All I have to say is that they are down now and I only smashed my finger once good between two pavers and sliced my finger in a silly way after I was completely done! I decided to use a glass pictcher to water the new plants I purchased. The hose wasn't hooked up properly and was squirting water everywhere. The pitcher got knocked over and broke. I picked up the glass piece and put it into the pitcher and sliced it good on the same piece of glass! Anyway, here are the before and after pictures. I plan to do more but it is a start... I am pretty proud of myself. It took me a major part of the day and I perspired so much that it was running down my face and making spots on the pavers. Gross, Gross, Gross!!!

Brady taking up the pavers to have the area treated for termites...Most of the pavers are down. I am taking a break at this point.The pavers are down! I have some clean-up left to do and the plants need to be put in pots. I also have to find a home with the left-over pavers I did not use. I wanted to plant some of those heavy rocks in between the pavers. 1.Because I thought it might look better and 2.Because I couldn't fit some back in. My solution was to use red lava rock to fill in the gaps! Will post more pictures next week of the finished look.
