After laying twenty-five percent of the patio, I noticed that I was off 5-7°. To make sure this project didn't look horrible, I pulled up everything that was down and re-layed it again. As I'm doing it, and it is starting to look better, I realize I could be half done instead of where I currently am. So Scott came over to help move wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow of pavers into my back yard.

After we were done, you could finally start to see the big picture. A few buckets of sand filled into the seams, and it is looking like a patio. There still is a long way to go since we still need to even out the edges, create steps up to the concrete layer, put down more pavers on the concrete, lay wiring for lighting, put down mulch, etc.

It's going to be a long process and it will seem like the 4th will be here before we know it.
