small progress

Physical exertion didn't exhaust me today like it did yesterday, so I made more progress on the patio.  I would have done better, but sporadic bursts of rain have chased me inside already.

The books and articles mentioned 10'x10' (or 12'x12') patio decks.  They detailed exactly how many of each kind of brick was necessary to complete a 10'x10' patio.  What all of the papers FAILED to mention, however, is that if I were to add just a single inch onto the size (10'1" x 10'1") then I could lay the patio without cutting any of the bricks.  Me and power tools are a really bad idea, so of course I chose to push out a cinder block border by one additional inch.  A quick test run with some bricks showed me that, yes, they now fit squarely within the border without needing to cut any of them.  Yay!

patio ready for sand

So that's where I'm at now.  Ready for sand, then bricks.  Progress, slowly but surely.

The work looks symmetric and nice alredy. What are you going to do once it is completed? Pu some plants, or chairs in it or something? :o)
