Finishing up the pavers

Most of the pavers were done but we still had some to wrap around the back side of the house. This is an area where we are thinking that our grill will go. In the first picture you can see that the sand has been leveled out onto the gravel base and I have started to lay the first couple courses.
 
A little bit further along. You can see the pieces that have been left our because they need to be cut to fit. You can also see in this view the pressure treated wood that was placed between the fence posts on the left and you can barely see the paver edger strip on the far end.
And a view from the other direction. The pavers that are standing on end are my way of keeping track of how many pavers I need to use to fill in. I did not want to get to the end and have holes to fill and no pavers to cut!
And after all of the blocks have been cut and filled in.
And lastly once the sand has been swept into the cracks. We will have to do this a couple more times when this stuff settles.
Other than some cleanup and some small other projects this really does it for the back yard area. Now that it is starting to cool off I will have to move back inside with the next projects.
