Work On The Pavers

Craig has been employed by the supplier of our pavers around the pool to carry out the restoration work. The fact is they will not be as good as new but they will certainly be much better and more stable than what they have been.

The pavers were cleaned yesterday with an acid wash. Today they are being covered with a coat of stabilizer and pigment. The final color may well be a little darker than the original color but we see this as more of an advantage than disadvantage. The worst effected pavers were getting a good hand paint job while the pavers in better condition were treated via a paint roller.

A second coat of stabilizer and pigment will go on tomorrow. When fully dry, a sealer will go on over the top.

The chemicals being used are very expensive. If I had to pay the bill for the job would be in the vicinity of $1500+. The paver supplier is covering the costs.
