Let's Build a Patio... Day 2

Phew! I'm tired just thinking about this... So John came in on Friday, and we went to Home Depot and racked up on sand. We stopped at WalMart after looking for large stepping stones to fill in because we knew we would be short on bricks. We found 4 cute ones along with plain ones. We woke up Saturday and started the project. In order to get to the bricks, we had to clear a nasty pile of firewood, flower pots and trash. In the process, we found several friends....

Yep, 6 snakes... John thought we should keep them and let them go.
Anyways, we spread sand then laid bricks and mapped out where the stepping stones would go.



After all of the bricks were in place, we pushed the sand in to make grout. Then blew it off and sprayed it with water. John got us some landscape lumbers to lock all of the bricks in place. We got some metal landscaping pieces to line the walkway.





Stay tuned for finishing the landscaping border and filling the gravel in...
Love!
