HI Lucia, WEll, I'm from sunny southern california. My hubby, FIL and I layed down those terra cotta keyhole pavers too a few years back. Now, FIL was the mastermind behind it all. He did use an electric saw on a few...but my thoughts are that if you used a hammer and chisel you could chisel out a perferated line and gently bang it up against the concrete to give it a gentle break. I've never done it personally. If you have an extra one that is all banged up you could practice on it. Now, you knwo that they have the edgers and the regular one....the edgers are straight on one side and have the patterned shape on the other perfect for along walkways,etc.. Hope I've been of some help. So, now , what kind of thorny weed do you have problems with? MIne were puncture weed--I've always really called it goat head sticker weed! They are nasty devils.... Love, Jules

Kudzu9 and all, I have nearly finished cutting pavers with the tile saw and have learned a few things. Overall, the saw works well. It cost $82 from HD. The blade it came with made about 50 full depth cuts before replacement. I have made another 50+ cuts with the replacement blade ($14) and it is still ok. 1. I had to remove the splitter and safety shield because the pavers are 2 3/8" thick and would interfere. 2. Most of the cutting was done freehand from the back of the saw dragging the pavers toward me. This got me out of the spray and gave me a better view and feel to keep the cut straight and avoid stalling the blade. The fence was not parallel enough to the blade to avoid binding, especially with a ton of grit in it. 3.The reservoir becomes clogged with cement mud and needs to be flushed every hour or two to avoid starving the blade of water and overheating. 4. Where a single cut is required on a block, I made only 1 cut and broke the block with a bolster. 5. For border wedges, I had to sever each cut with the saw from top and bottom to preserve the line because the bolster break can be uneven. 6. My pavers are "tumbled" so I chipped each cut edge with a chipping hammer to look like the others. That was fast and easy 7. I will have used the saw for 4 days. The rental price for a masonry wet saw was $57/day plus a charge for blade wear? Cutting dry is crazy dusty and I had to replace a circular saw the last time when I cut rock dry. Take your time and the tile saw does fine. Thank you all for your input.

We are having a beautiful blue textured/colored glass pool tile installed for a fountain feature and waterline in our new salt water pool. We are also using limestone pavers around the pool and on top of the spa, fountain and firepit, and also for decking. I've always had the indoor tile sealed for the showers. Wondering how this works with pools and whether it's a good idea or bad idea? Please advise based on your experience. Much appreciated!

I had a feeling tile was the way to go. We have hardwood floors in our dining and living room, so should I try and match the outdoor floor with a wood look tile or get something in the same color family? It’s a medium brown.
