I finished the patio blocks yesterday, though I still need to put locking sand between the blocks. That was a little bigger of a project than I anticipated. And I think this is only temporary until Spring when I can redo the wall surrounding the blocks. The problem? My outer lines are not straight, I have a huge, 1/2" to 1" gap between the blocks and the wall surrounding the patio. I think that is way too much. But I filled it with locking sand for now so hopefully it'll last over the winter.
The other issue you might ask? Well I bought a bunch of extra patio blocks a couple of years ago because I was planning on redoing it into a rectangle when the girls were too big to swing on their playset because I wanted to make sure I could match the blocks. But I counted wrong. I was 5 blocks short. And of course, Home Depot does not carry that style any more. I ended up stealing 5 of the 6 blocks that go from the apron around the porch to the patio. I don't know what I am going to do yet to fix this issue. So for right now there is a 3 foot by 2 foot x 2 inch deep rectangular hole next to the patio. I guess we'll just need to be careful around it because I don't want anyone ending up breaking an ankle.
