After nearly a month of digging, shoveling, crushing, loading, scooping, bricklaying, and tamping, my path is finally 90% finished

But I ran out of bricks 🙃

The pavers were free from a friend of a friend of a friend, but they were 12" x 5" x 2.5" gray concrete, a size that I can't find anywhere. I'm starting to think they just made these themselves with a frame and a load of concrete.

135 bricks short to cover the whole distance that I was looking for. Definitely the most manual labor I've put into anything at the house so far, but it ain't done yet, and not sure where to go from here.

progress pics:

What's more is that the pavers didn't have notches for spacing, so it took forever to level and space each paver, probably triple the amount of time it would have taken for regular bricks. Huge pain in the ass.

If I had to give advice, I'd say find bricks with spacer notches and if money is no object go for the foam paver base. I think they're 12 dollars for 5 square feet so exorbitantly expensive for a larger footprint, but if it's just a small path it's worth it. Shoveling 12 tons of gravel and sand and hauling it around in a wagon is a crazy workout, and getting it 'level' in a yard with a massive slope is a huge pain.

I love these hanging gardens made from old bird cages and other wire baskets.
