I have an old concrete slab for my outdoor patio that I want to renovate. The slab is level but cracked in a few places. I was thinking of Travertine but then thought maybe this would look ok https://www.bunnings.com.au/brighton-masonry-300-x-300-x-40mm-sand-mypave-paver_p3451558 with the advantage of easily fixable if I mess up because I can just pop in to Bunnings for more. My questions are:
Do you think it will look ok? I had in mind this colour scheme https://www.berger.com.au/inspiration/a-modern-patio-that-shines/?fbclid=IwAR1hfZrxWpG-xLVdlLMh8DO0J... (my patio is very old fashioned with round columns everywhere)
What would I use to lay the pavers?
What would I use as edging
thanks 
look at me go!!! It's not perfect but it's not bad - also using power tools successfully
is fun
Laughing out loud! @lakiita
I just logged in to see all your nervousness at using an angle grinder and wtch it peak and the disappear and could feel your excitment even !:D
Brilliant idea of a smaller grinder and I like the way you have thought around the probelm! Its amazing when you have the right tool how things become easier.
Your cuts look good! (Ive never tried cutting pavers so will be remembering your project for sure) The only disapointing thing I could see is that all your pavers are covered up! hahahahahah Makes sense when you explained why.
Nice work and an exciting project

Pavers are all down just waiting for them to be dry so I can put down the polymeric sand and then dry again then seal. the pavers are a little uneven but I think it's too risky to try fixing them - when I tried before I just made things worse and ended up breaking one.
Hello @lakiita
Thank you very much for the update, your paving project looks fantastic. You've done very well in paving around the posts and from the photos you've posted the pavers look level and straight. Once you put the polymeric sand in the paving gaps that should lock everything into place.
We look forward to the next update.
