    This week I tackled the front walkway of the house and replaced the old bricks with a new paver walkway. This project was a ton of work but all in this project cost me less than $400 to complete thanks to an awesome hookup with the pavers and most of that money going towards extended tool rentals because of the rain. Really happy with the result and can't beat the price even if it was a lot of backbreaking labor!

    Really I admire people who know how to do these DIY things and work so hard to turn out a perfect job in spite of setbacks like the weather. This fellow has the perfect formula for great work. Kudos!

    Love it when I watch a How To video and end up saying, "That's how I did it when I didn't know what I was doing!!!" Reused old clay bricks to do two small 3' x 2.5' areas across a flower bed surrounding our patio. Turned out well so I'm going to add paths beside our driveway (maybe 20" wide by 40 linear feet total) concrete strips with timbers on outside. 1940s house that has, "Hey, I wonder how I can fix / upgrade that mess," projects all around it. Great video.

    Thank you. Your troubles with the project will help me shut up my complaining mind as I try to muddle through the a Florida heat and mosquitoes.
    Your work is absolutely beautiful.

    This turned out very well. I am can empathize with you on the rain situation. I feel like a lot of my projects are on hold while the weather decides what it wants to do. I'm glad you pushed through and finished strong. This gave me the motivation I need to finish the projects I have in mind. One of them will be a walkway to the door and I'm excited to see how it turns out. Thank you for the encouragement :)

    like how you kept the circumstances and difficulty in the video, keeps it real and lets you know what to do if it happens to them

    I would love to see an update video from you. I know you and your wife must be busy with regular work and the baby, but if you get time and would be willing to show us a video highlighting what the home was like when you moved in and what it looks like now I would be so excited! You've done so many incredible projects, and re-watching you do this walkway makes me want to see what it looks like a year later. Thanks again for all the wonderful videos!

    The only time you needed it to rain; to lock the sand into place between the pavers...
    No rain-
    All in all; great work and perseverance. It definitely made its a lot safer and makes that area look better.👍🏻

    In Denmark, you would never put soil underneath your paving.
    Soil is a organic material meaing that it will move around, if the temperature drops, reaises, the material gets soaked etc etc.
    The way to do it here would be :
    6 inches of light gravel og sand with bigger corns and smaller stones in.
    6 inches of something we call "stabilgrus" that is a gravel type with loads of rocks in in many sizes between 0-01⁄4in rocks in, and also som binding material in form of clay and sand, so that it compacts really nice together.
    1-2 inches of sand on top to lay the paving in.
    Eeach alyer gets compacted.
    The first to layers with a 150-400 kg compacter
    the toplayer with a 50-100kg compacter
    Now its ready for screeding and laying pavers.
    Some times we will use a compactor on top of the paving again, specially if it is a driveway, or has some sort of heavy trafic.
    But its very interesting to see what you would do in another country.

    Great job at making it interesting and specifically detailed at the same time. It helps to know why the orignal bricks failed and how to prevent it once you relayed the new pavers.

    This turned out great. We're wanting to do something similar to our walkway on the side of our house. In Arizona we don't get much moisture so I'm happy about that. The tiny walk way we have now looks like it was literally just laid out without any actual work so it's all crocked and warped and looks terrible. I can't wait to do this in the future
