Here is the view from upstairs when all the sand was in. We had been told that we only needed 750kg of sand (coincidentally this was the maximum amount we were allowed to carry) but it turned out to not be enough. My initial gut was that we needed 250kg more and we ended up getting another ~230kg in bags from the local hardware store. Gutted!
We finished the major part of the paving just before we headed off to dinner, so these next photos were taken at night. Still, you can see how straight those lines are! There were a few pavers that were a bit too high or too low so we had to pop them out and fiddle with the sand levels. One last go around with the plate compactor and we called it a night.
This view is from the doorway at the back of the house.
This is from the opposite corner looking back towards the lovely hot water cylinder. We still need to get some pavers cut to fit in around the clothesline and the edges, but we are 90% complete! Then, of course, comes all the tidying up...

Good job my man. It was looking ugly there for a while but it looks like you pulled through. Update this thing more, or have you not done anything interesting in the last few months?
