| Remember this? |
 |
| Keep an eye on that pile of bricks. |
 |
| Originally, there were two steps - now there will only be one. |
 |
| All formed up and ready to pour! |
 |
| One step here, one step at the City sidewalk, and a slightly steeper pitch in between. |
 |
| Apparently it took a lot of cement.. |
 |
| Ta-da! |
 |
| Here's my dilemma, gang: which pattern do you like the best? I'll be bricking the treads on both steps and the entire sidewalk in between. Use your imagination to fill in the blanks :) A basic basket weave? |
 |
| Basket weave with a thin edge? |
 |
| ..with a thick edge? |
 |
| Herringbone? (I like all three patterns, but I felt like the border gave everything a more finished look. Thoughts?) |
 |
| ..with a thin edge? This was one of my favorites. |
 |
| ..with a thick border? (I don't care for the thick edging on the basket weave or the herringbone patterns. I would like it more if the walk were wider..maybe.) |
 |
| This was the ONE time I liked the thick border. A basic running bond going the length of the walkway. |
 |
| A horizontal running bond with a thin edge. I liked this one a lot. Plus, with the long grout lines running across the sidewalk, you won't see imperfections in the lines like you would if it ran lengthwise. OCD.. |
 |
| Quick lunch yesterday: pesto pasta with a sliced heirloom tomato. If you think I've only eaten pasta and tomatoes this summer........you'd be absolutely correct :) |
