Precious Paving

PERFECTLY PAVED WITH PRECIOUS HANDS!























The story of the Pavers goes like this;
One day, not so long ago in the city of Perth, suberb of North Beach, there lived a young maiden who desperately wanted to pave an area out the back of her house for more usable space for herself and her little daughter. She looked everywhere for cheap or free pavers, because her budget only allowed minimal funds for this paving project, but alas she could not find a suitable solution. And then one very warm Sunday afternoon, sitting in the lounge room with her friend, the fair maiden, lets call her Christi, received a phonecall from her dear sister who had spotted a sign for FREE pavers outside a house not far away. Well, what a delight! The only thing was that there were three hundred pavera and would need removing by the "taker". So Christi felt a little disheartened but not for long, for the friend who was at her house said, "I have a tow-ball on my car and the Church(next door) has a trailer, we could go and get them now if you like." And so that is exactly what they did.
I must say the rest of the afternoon was taken up by picking up pavers putting them in the tariler, taking out the pavers and placing them on the pavement along side the house. And the little daughter was brought along for the ride, and made a friend along the way.

So with the pavers in ahnd the next step would be to lay them. Now the young maiden had never laid pavers before but she was positively motivated to get them down and so she started digging up the grass out the back. once the area had been cleared of grass, she stopped, for this first part was exhausting. the ground laid bare for a number of days, until one fine afternoon her dear sister came to visit with her strong and helpful boyfriend. The three of them set to work at leveling the ground, and carrying some pavers from the front to the back.
And then they stopped, for the sun was setting and the dear sister and the strong and helpful boyfriend needed to leave.
A few days later the dear sister, her name by the way is Bron, cam by again to see the progress, but to her surprise there was no further improvement, and so with a little boost of motivation the two young girls and also a little help from the daughter whose name is Trin, the rest of the afternoon was spent paving with their precious hands. It did not take long before the area was fully covered and their work nearly done!
the next phase of the project now awaits to be tackled. To finish it all off so that it looks neat and tidy. But with precious hands the bulk of the job has been achieved. And what an Achievement!!
