    It says "Edit/Delete" – but apparently there is no delete.

    was he on the payroll while he learned how to set the bricks?

    But impressive.

    All I could think of was how much confidence he must have to be doing that while wearing open-toed sandals. Ouch!

    I knew a young man who used to regularly win a beer by laying four bricks on top of each other, at right angles to, on top of, and at one end of a fifth brick; then pick up the whole lot with one hand from the other end of the bottom brick.
    I was not a weakling at the time, but I couldn't get withing coo-ee of copying him.

    What I like about this one is how the shape of the pavers makes this job easier, all the way from the initial pickup, to the throw, the catch, and then to the placement. There's also the irony of the stooped-over guy sweeping sand, as a reminder of what this kind of work likely does to your back.

    LOL. Very punny. Glad I was never paid by the paver laid, as most of my paving was repairing someone elses stuff or from tree roots lifting some.
