Front walkway – Part II
Today was a HOT day! No joke … 91 degrees, humid, windy, and sever thunderstorms are on the way. Basement time tonight for sure until the storm passes. The reason that I bring this up is because Mr. Man did something extraordinary today. In all this heat he finished the pavers by the walkway. We bought new ones that would match our home and contrast the walkway, highlighting the entry to our home.
This is what our walkway looked like after I stained it … to read about it {click here}
The existing bricks were an orange kind of paver that just did not look good. It is like painting a room people! Once you change one thing … other things stand out that you want to change. The pavers were not level anymore after years of extreme temps so here is where we started.
Mr Man cleaned out along the sidewalk …
… laid down pea gravel, sand, and the paver edge. Then came the new pavers (from Menard’s, on sale, yay us!) that were leveled.
He rented a paver cutter. It was $8 for 4 hours. Can’t beat that! He got most of the pavers down before going to get it so that he could spend those 4 hours just cutting what would need to be cut. In the HEAT! My job was to keep bringing him ice water to cool him down. I was not a slacker! I was inside doing a project that needed to be finished. Really!
Finished and now to clean up! After I put away all the things that Mr. Man had to use (he ran the paver cutter back) I noticed that I had dirt ground into my newly stained walkway. EEKS! I use the jet sprayer and a broom to clean it off. It looked great. We are finish with the walkway … now on to the door jam 🙂
Done! Thank you Mr. Man (XOXO)
*Spoiler alert … If you don’t want to know what is coming … don’t look! because, I started on …
