home improvement - day 1...demo

So the patio pavers people arrived a half hour earlier than expected (at 7am) and got a lot done today.

Here are all the bricks that used to be my patio (now free to friends who need brick until the day I get around to laying them out on the side and back of my house where no one goes... aka circa 2013 ;)

And here's what my patio area looks like after being demo'd (including my steps), dug out and with gravel poured and pounded down. There is also a big pile of interlocking pavers in front of my house, and a pile of sand, ready and waiting to lay the new patio tomorrow and Wednesday :)
