My most manly handy work .... ever!

Hi all

Not being too good with handy man type tasks (my previous best was a shelf in a laundry) I decided to do some paving. We have a good space under the deck that could be used a lot more often so I began!
The ordering happened a week ago.
The digging began on Thursday evening - lots of loads!
Road base and sand went down on Friday evening - compactor and all!
My mate Justin assisted on Saturday and Sunday to lay and do the fiddly things......those brick drop saws are awful machines, fortunately I only had to cut 25 pavers, lost no fingers.
I followed the direction from Centenary Garden Supplies DIY videos to the letter of the law (I did spend more time making sure everything was spot on).
I must say I am very impressed with the job - still a few pavers to go at the bottom of the stairs but all in all very 'manly'!
