We got our delivery of paving stones on Friday afternoon. It took a bit of time to get everything unloaded as we had 8 pallets (see left) unloaded from a Nelson truck. We got right to work and you can see one empty pallet. Saturday we were out of town but this morning we got busy once again with a soft, gentle rain coming down. It seems to be going fairly quickly. I bring the pavers up to the area and Dave lays them in place and pounds them with his mallet. I can manage about 20 pavers in the wheelbarrow. There are 360 paving stones in each pallet for a total of 2880. We've managed to work our way through 3 pallets now. Our pattern is shown at right - pretty simple and straightforward and so far we haven't had to do any cutting. It's coming. Pounding these pavers, we hope, will level out the driveway and give us a place to clean pots, wine jugs and all the stuff we do and perhaps we'll track a little less dirt into the house???
