"And today I am going to show you how to set concrete paver's. Today we are going to be setting concrete paver's around our barbecue pit. The type of concrete paver's we will be using are first the 1 x 1 concrete pre-cast block which is about an 1 1/2 inch thick. I purchased these at a brick yard where I buy them at seconds. These all have some defect in color but they are about half price. So that is just one way you can save money when building your concrete paver enclosure around your barbecue pit. So the other ones that we will be using are about 16 inches by 8 inches and they are just a different style, different style but they are the same thickness."
