Watched a couple of online videos on laying pavers so I thought I’d give it a try. Scarest part was using the saw to cut the pavers. Cut through the pavers like they were butter.

@farmerman,
That was my first time, it was actually pretty easy but working in the hot Florida sun got to me just a bit.

Over twenty years ago, a man I did some work for asked me to buy some pavers for a project. He did not call them pavers and I was not up on that. I kept going to brick yards and asking for that size of bricks and getting turned away. The man I worked for ended up buying them. Anyway, that's a nice job.

Really really nice job JC. You should be proud of that. It looks great.
Its hard being on hands and knees for long periods.
I always found the hardest part was getting the initial bedding down and smooth. Once the groundwork is done you just kinda bang 'em in.

Cant say I'm overly fond of the garish dyed bark but thats just me.

Thanks!

Mac doesn’t bother the tortoises at all but I don’t trust Frankie with them. I sectioned off a portion of the yard so the dogs have their own play area. They were destroying all the plants, now they can do what they want in their own yard.
