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
That's entirely a possibility, @lakiita. However, you might like to do all the screeding back to an area near the backyard. Then, start laying your paving from there back towards the house. Obviously, you'd need a side access on the property to get to the back without walking over the screeding. Working in sections would be fine, especially if the timbers you have are heavy enough to hold back the sand.

i don't think i can do the whole lot and knave as i have furkids
Afternoon @lakiita
Depending on how old your kids are you could place down a few stepping stones for them to walk on or even just leave a pathway empty and screed the rest level. If you screeded in smaller sections you may end up with slightly different levels when paving. As @MitchellMc said if you screed then walk on teh pavers you put down it should be fine. Ive just posted a project on my side path and even tho I didnt use sand (I used gravel) I started at the top and worked my way down keeping my pavers level and sloped then I could walk over the pavers I had laid even when I hadnt backfileld them as my weight was distributed across the pavers not just on my footprint.
You have a nice solid base, once screed you could at worst have a few stepping stones and then as you paving gets close it will be easy to remove the stepping stone, screed and continue.
It will be fun and way easier then you expect

Another thing, when using that 10L of paint I just used a small takeaway container to scoop out what I needed at a time. I was super paronoid of it going "GLUG"

hahahahhah now that is funny! Yeah somehow they dont really pay a lot of attention to where their feet go
Good luck!

It means they'll try and leave it in the most convenient location they can for you @lakiita. Basically, they'll crane it off the side of the truck and place the pallet where they can. If you speak to the driver when they arrive, I'm sure they try their best to place the pallet conveniently. It won't be placed on the road and ideally shouldn't be blocking the footpath. Could they place it in your driveway?
