From this:
to this:
in one very long afternoon. After Robert's game on Saturday, Mark and I worked veraciously on getting the patio done. He rented a wet saw from Home Depot to cut the pavers. I leveled the sand and made the area ready for the paver while he laid each one in the sand. We took 3 hours (1:00 - 4:00) to get the first 1/3 of the patio done, it did not look like we would finish in one day. But then things sped up and we were able to get the whole patio done by 8:20 pm. Our goal to get in done in one day was instigated by the fact that I was leaving Monday morning with Jessica so this was our only day to get it done.

We love it. It is approximately 18 x 18 with an additional section that is 7 x 6 for lounge chairs.
There is still more to do: we need to fill the cracks between pavers with grout and seal the patio. Then we need to complete the stairs that will go down to the patio. But that's it - we are on the home stretch!
