The truck arrived at 8:40 a.m. carrying our 12 pallets of paver stones. Each pallet has over 500 stones and covers over 100 sq. ft. That's a lot of concrete!

Michel arranged to use a forklift from a guy here in Greenwood, and he arrived back at the same time as the truck arrived.  So the work began right away.

Here he comes with the first pallet - only 11 left to go !!

The first two pallets - out front where they'll be easy to get at.

The rest of the pallets - all 10 of them - tucked away behind the house. (Actually this is the front of the house - it faces the street.) By 9:30 a.m. the unloading was done!! Thank you !Thank you! for the use of the forklift. Could you just imagine having to unload that truck by hand, brick by brick??

So we'll be busy for awhile.
They are very nice stones and we are extremely pleased with "Expocrete", the company who manufactures them. They've supplied us with well over 1200 sq. ft. of stones, which will more than do our pathways - we'll should be able to do the gazebo as well.
