Well, seven days later, and we still haven't finished the patio. We have, though, gotten sunburnt and sore from hauling gravel, sand, and paving stones. Here's our progress as of Sunday evening.

We would have gotten farther if we didn't have to deal with the Giles situation (boy, I miss him) and the new puppy, who has proven to be even more trouble then Oliver. Olie just needs to be held all of the time; Buffy insists on activally impeding our progress by laying down right where the next paver goes, digging up the just-smoothed sand, biting arms, hands and gloves, and just being a general puppy nuisance. But she is kind of cute, a little bit.

Now that I'm back at work, I expect that it'll be another week or two before we finish the patio, and get the big pile of sand and pallets of pavers out of our driveway!
