Finally doing something about paving the gazebo area. The chooks won’t be happy as this was a nice dry area for them to shelter and even dust during wet weather. The paved area is 3 x 3 meters and I started digging before we even decided on the paver type and pattern.

Need to clear the area so after pulling out the big pegs my older daughter gave me a hand to ‘walk’ the gazebo over to the front of the garden shed.

Went down to Bunnings and decided on this this type of paver – 200×200 and 400×200 in beige. Also purchased 5 lengths of pine to box the thing and one for screeding. Will be delivered tomorrow.

By now it was mid afternoon so off down the road to a garden supply place to order one cubic metre of sand. If they could deliver soon I would have enough time to move (daylight savings gone) it off the driveway to the back yard – they could.

It makes sense to box the area first but the timber won’t arrive till tomorrow, never mind I need to clear the driveway so let’s barrow the sand in there not to close to the borders.

There’s plenty left over which I planned for as there are a couple of other paving projects.

Importantly the driveway is clear for delivery of the pavers tomorrow morning.

Pavers arrived this morning with some timber, stack some on the left…

and some on the right.

Back soon…have to do banking and some shopping…
