Front Walkway (September - October, 2005)

Installing a new concrete paver front walk for the Decatur house.

• Before: the old front walkway (after new stairs and AC unit moved)
• Starting to excavate
• "Stumped!"
• Stump removed, all excavated, temporary "form" boards staked in
• Ernie's lost weight from all that digging!
• After a few inches of crushed rock compacted with the plate compactor
• The plate compactor sure helped!
• Crushed rock all compacted
• Granite sand screeded; starting to lay the pavers
• Pavers all down, plastic edging installed, and sand worked into the cracks
• Done! (looking from the porch)
• Done! (looking from the driveway)
• Stepping stones added, starting landscaping--setting edging blocks
• Pea gravel added; all done!
