Personal Finance Review – New Pavestone Patio Edition

September 23, 2007

As our son becomes more mobile, we’re spending more time in our backyard chasing him around.  This has given us the idea of installing a new patio behind our house.  The current plan is to use the Pavestone system to lay a 13 x 16 patio. 

Never having done this before, we headed to Home Depot this weekend full of questions.  Unfortunately the Pavestone experts were gone for the day so we’ll have to check back with them next week.  We did pickup a planning brochure and a multi-media CD with some planning information.  Has anyone ever used Pavestone for a patio before?  Any suggestions or tips you could offer that would help us get it done faster, cheaper, or with fewer mistakes : ) would be appreciated.  Here are some money articles I enjoyed this week:

    I thought your Halloween post was very creative…good job!!

    And I really appreciate these links you’ve listed.

    I’m a new personal finance blogger, though I’ve been writing books for a decade. Maybe someday, my blog will make your list!!

    Like paidtwice, I can’t help in the pavestones area. But in looking at your list of money articles, I can recommend a book. “How to Get Out of Debt: Get an “A: Credit Rating for Free is the best credit repair book on the market. I was able to pay off all my debts and actually begin saving money. I recommend this book to everyone.

    We are pathetic at DIY. We always end up paying a mint to get build the stuff we need (or want….). Hard-earned savings to flagstone patios. But they’re beautiful I have to say.
