RE: today

You will like your pavers, Theresa.  Our very wide and long driveway is
pavers.  The only thing we would have done differently  would have been to
put a weed barrier under the sand.  We do love our pavers.  How big a patio
area are you planning?  Our drive is about 5 cars wide at the garage, 3 cars
wide at the street and over 140' long.  That took Bill and I 6 week ends to
get finished.  I would highly recommend a wet saw instead of just a brick
saw, though.  It is messy but so much better than trying to breathe the
stone dust and I think it gave us a cleaner cut.  You can use a crayon to
mark with or an oil pencil for the cuts.  

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

You sound like me.  I got the pavers ordered for our back patio finally!  I
just couldn't stand the sand being tracked in the house anymore, and hell
might freeze over before my husband finds a job.  So, enough of the waiting
around for something to change, and on with living!!  Anyway, I'm taking
Friday and Monday off of work and hope that
4 days is enough to get them all laid.  I do need to call and reserve a
brick saw tomorrow though- or else we won't get much done!  I'm sure I'll
have a zillion more weeds in another week, but at least for now I'm
(briefly) caught up.
