Re: today

We will be getting a wet saw, but one specifically for pavers and brick 
(has a slotted saw blade).  Your project was much bigger than ours.  I'm 
hoping to finish by Monday, but we'll see. It will depend on how hot it 
gets this weekend.  I don't plan on roasting jsut for the sake of bricks.
