More paving and a new toy!

Slow and steady with the paving projects at my house but I am

 getting there bit by bit, this is the round bed that I decided

 to remove because it just doesn't fit into my overall plan....

I also wanted to raise the border up so it is a little above

ground level, so the digging out of the old pavers begun....

Weeds gone and some blue metal in to level up the area....

I did my best to follow the same pattern and when I got to this

stage I had ran out of whole pavers, I pulled all the off cuts out

 from behind the shed  to see what could be done....

Then came the fun part, I unpacked my new toy and fitted the

correct cutting blade, made a cuppa and read the instructions

and did some googling on cutting pavers with a grinder....

Excited and a little nervous I gave it a go!

And I am very happy with the results, It's a little more

dangerous than my patchwork cutter but I am pleased to say

 I came out with all my fingers and toes....LOL!

And then my favourite part sweeping the sand into

 all the cracks, this part is very therapeutic indeed!

Ta Dah! 3 unsightly spots all patched up...

I still have another little fix up spot that requires some

attention but for now that's on the ever growing to do list....

It is all still a bit gritty out there from the sand but looks so much

better, not perfect but I love Rustic at my

"Little Home Sweet Home"

 I am eager to start my privacy wall next but

too busy this week with party planning....

Thanks for stopping by and sharing my journey with me,

I really do appreciate all your support and comments....

 

Until next time, Happy stitching
