He's back, project man that is...
this time thanks to my MAD freecycle skills we scored 800+ free bricks with mortar on them so we chipped off each and every piece of mortar and borrowed the girls sand from their box and set them in the ground, a little around the driveway and more in the front of the house
we loaded these up on that 99 degree day last week...it was HOT

wow! that is awesome!
my bricks were free for my patio too, someone was just throwing them out...which is so maddening!
however, i had hired labor to lay them down :)
another good idea (some time) is to break the old pieces of concrete into chunks, and make 'flagstones' out of it! so pretty with pea gravel in the cracks!
whew. good job :)
Project man is working today and I plan to borrow some bricks to finish the walk out and then do the edges in some sort of mosaic with the broken bricks and concrete. i hope it works out, cuz he won't be happy about it if it doesn't.
happy creating ;)
yes, it is a little challenging working with heavy concretish things :)
Holy crapoli! THAT is amazing!!! And beautiful!
