WE'RE LEGAL NOW...OMG

Today we got up early and made the last trip to Home Depot for the 6x6 pavers. We went to the service desk and the girl their got a guy to get the last pallet. I followed him while Tommy brought the truck around to the garden center. The guy found one pallet that GASP! already had the correct number of peices but he was looking for the other pallets (ummm yeah we took those last night and the guy helping last night must have gotten the last pallet ready in case we got there before they closed)... So all he has to do is shrink wrap it and put it on the bed of the truck.... 1 hour later we were finally on the road... The guy couldn't find a shrink wrap that worked, he needed to get the gates to block aisles but couldn't find enough, then he needed a spotter and a key carrier to open the gate to the side of the building!!! When he finally found all that he needed he said " OK we're legal now", but he couldn't even drive the forklift... So painful to watch. And of course as soon as we got to the house it started raining.

Thankfully the rain stopped and we went to down on laying down the pavers. I laid them while Tommy brought them over, as fast as he could bring them I laid them. We finished the full size pavers by noon... Then we went to Home Depot to return the 200+ extra pavers that we got (somebody can't count) and that took forever again... (normally our home depot is good but today they were terrible) We rented a paver saw and then we spent the afternoon cutting all the pieces along the border. Got some sand and compacted the pavers. Done by 5! This was just one of those days that besides the episodes at Home Depot was perfect, we got so much done.

So here is the patio...it is much bigger than we thought we were going to make it but we love how it turned out. So pretty!
