I have 2 pavers left to place, and a group of about 4 in the very back corner that I want to lift and re-place.  Then it's edging time and (yay!) time to get to work on the decorative work around the edges.

By the time I was about halfway through my pile of slabs I was finally figuring out how to regularly get them dropped just right.  The trick seems to be to not focus on the inside edges/corners, but rather to align the outside edge or corner with the surrounding slabs and then let go--and let gravity plop that sucker tightly down in the corner.  Otherwise fingers and gloves end up in the way and the slab drops all cattywampus.  Or worse, it goes in on its edge or corner and messes up the sand.

The patio is actually a bit bigger than this but I can't get the entire thing in the frame, at least not from the house.
