Paver Project 2007: Driveway Apron and Sidewalks

After living in our new for four years, we finally decided between stamped concrete or pavers. We then had to choose a color. Decisions, decisions! Done. The work was started Tuesday, December 4 and completed six days later, give or take a half day, on Wednesday, December 12!
