Patio Paver Slabs II: Installation

The paver installation began by spreading a thin layer of sand over the area and rolling it completely flat.  This was assisted by our feline calico helper who enjoyed the flat sand, especially as the sun warmed it up.  Once the first few slabs were located it became a pretty straightforward matter of setting them down in the pattern.  A few had to be cut and initially I used my skilsaw with a diamond masonary blade which was slow, dusty and shortening the life of the saw with every cut.  Eventually I rented the gas powered cut-off saw which was much quicker and replaced dusty with muddy, but got the job done.  The whole process was completed in 2-1/2 days and involved moving just over 6 tons (12,800 lbs.) of paving slabs not counting sand!
