Who wants the simplicity of a concrete patio when you can revel in the complexity of a brick paver patio?
Trips to Home Improvement Centers: 20
First, some specs... The patio is approximately 15' x 22' (330 square feet) and required 1,320 bricks, 6 cubic yards of gravel, 3.5 cubic yards of sand, the rental of a plate compactor & a wet saw, and a minimum of 20 trips to home improvement centers.
About 15 friends and neighbors chipped in on the all-day project. Rubber mallets and knee pads were appropriate attire.
About 10:00 a.m. we had to get another ton of sand (in 50 pound bags) from Home Depot. Then, at about 3:00 p.m. we had to get another 300 bricks from Menards. What would a Broke Homeowners home-improvement project be without extra trips to the store?
