Patio
Greeting again. It has been a while. Well, it's been hot out here, but still i continue to work. Here's a shot of our new patio, which i constructed using 'seconds' pavers. This is a great source of cheap materials if you have an actual brick or block factory nearby, ask for seconds. I got 200 square feet of material at half price ($160). WORD! An added benefit. Sand is free around here if you have the gumption to go out to a wash and dig it up yourself and haul it back to town. I gather sand two five-gallon buckets at a time. Actually have really sandy and gravelly soil at home, so i've only had to get 3 loads (6 buckets). I've recently added a little narrow path to connect what you see here to what's left of the old sidewalk. Now i need another load of sand to brush into the top and stabilize it! Will break more concrete and lay more bricks later...

I was doing a google search looking for ways to get cheap patio pavers and came across your site. We have been wanting to lay pavers down in a portion of our backyard that tends to become muddy if it rains too much. But pavers at places like Home Depot are ridiculously expensive if you want to cover much area. I think we have a concrete factory nearby and will check to see if they have "seconds"! Thanks so much for the tip! Love your place, used to spend summers in NM! See you haven't updated in years... still workin' on the homestead there??
