So did you water it down, tamp it with a tamper and fill the cracks
with
sand?

Well, I did a bit more than that. After the ground was excavated, I
used a gasoline powered compactor on the soil, followed by crushed
stone, followed by the compactor, followed by polymeric sand, followed
by the compactor. Ran it over the brick, too. I swept the sand into
the joints but the joints are not supposed to be tightly filled with
the sand, according to the brick supplier. I don't expect the brick to
move.


Even I know running a plate compactor over paving bricks will **** them
up, silly!

Harry probably wasn't around when the home depot contractor finished
the job off... But we already knew he didn't do the job or he would
have went into detail (more than a google) about cutting the curves in
the bricks around the pillars..
That ******* didn't finish the cut bricks with a bevel or a radius.
What a crazy ****!
