or at least 10% of them. I still have a really big 90% to go. this is the walkway and part of the front patio. me and a helper for 2 days. He worked 6 hours each day and I worked 10. We also had to remove the 280 square feet of old pavers.

I didn't have a fork lift for this small section so I made a cart out of my zero turn mower. worked super good. let me bring the pavers from 200 feet away right to where I needed them. I actually had 2. the other was a little smaller so while I was putting them down he was getting more.

the other thing is my RAS stone cutter. Just an old craftsman with a mason blade and a concrete saw water kit attached. I have used a number of different wet saws in the past and this was the best. I could shave a straight blade with off.

thanks.
It is 2 different sets of colors. One is called gold /red/ tan and the other is (i think) brown/ red / charcoal. We wanted ours to be different so we mixed it up like that. I actually spent a bunch of money returning 2 of the other colors we picked and getting more of these 2 colors.

You know how hard it is to return pavers. Even if its across the street its hard.

I don't like the way I did the curve and I am re doing it. I already have a few of them up. I came up with a better idea. Everyone said it looked fine but I didn't agree. I'll shoot a closeup when I do it this weekend.

It doesn't quite look as good when its dry. those pictures are still wet. These pavers I bought have a lot of scuffs on them. and of course some efflorescence. There are more scuffs on these than any pavers I have seen so before i move on to the drive way i am looking into what I can do about it.
I'm told the sealer I am going to use will make them disappear like water does. I want to see it first. If not I don't know what I'm gonna do.
