Well the lawn project went so well, we found ourselves almost finished, with a week of vacation still to go. So we looked at the dirt patch outside the back door and decided to go ahead and get the pavers for the patio I wanted to put in there.

Of course, that night it started raining and continued raining for two days straight. Great for watering in the new lawn, not good for laying patio.

When it finally stopped raining, the garden was pretty much water-logged, but we thought we might be able to go ahead and get started - with the proviso that we may have to re-lay the patio later in the year.

We took the pavers through the house one by one, to save the new grass on the side yard. That's 120 pavers at about 25 lbs each... arrrgggggg!!!!! I've got muscles to rival Schwarzeneggar now.

On to next photo
