Still more slow progress on the patio pavers
The Boy finished straightening up the first hundred or so pavers and the weather keeps ruining all our plans to finish up the last sixty. Stop raining. Stop.
I just looked to see when we started this whole patio project – December 30, 2009. Two months! It didn’t feel that long ago that we started and we still have so much further to go. Something even more depressing – when did we fisrt start working on painting the exterior? August 29th, 2008. It’s been YEARS!
Looks like 2011 may be the year of the exterior as well…possibly 2012.

You guys need to buy a cheap paint sprayer. Cheap like $200 (not super cheap but worth it). We masked all of our windows on a Friday night and sprayed the house on a Saturday. Totally worth it. And then get a big roll of plastic at Home Depot in the painting department and mask off the whole house and spray your eaves the next Saturday. I promise it really goes that quick.
Take solace – Palm Springs wasn’t built in a day. It will look good when you’re done.
it’s looking real good <3
SOOO glad I just saw this! We’re doing the same thing in our yard – except the Pennsylvania Blue pavers we chose a ridiculously expensive so it’s going even slower…like 5 or 6 slabs every paycheck. ugh. And we stopped buying them this winter b/c of the CO snow. double ugh. We were JUST talking about scraping the whole thing this weekend, but now that I saw this, I’m newly committed to finishing what we started. Even if we go broke doing it.
Keep up the great work! (And be grateful for that rain!)
