Are these pavers double sided?
The dog seems very happy with the patio and completely unconcerned with any paver PITA’s you may be experiencing.

Get some of these:
I’ve used them for years working on hard surfaces and they make a massive difference.
Other than that, sorry. I usually have a trick or two but some of these things are just really difficult.
I’d also say blast out any sand or interstitia between the pavers with a pressure washer if one is available, but only if that applies.

No. Pavers have a finished top side so I can’t screw something in and pick it out that way without ruining the paver.

My DH mountain bike knee pads were a big help no doubt.
I just don’t see why adjustable paver tongs shouldn’t be cheap. It’s a simple mechanism. Looking likely I’ll just have to use a flathead and thin crowbar and wreck my hands some more. Damn.

On the bright side- That patio was built to last!

I can’t imagine anybody buying or using that big expensive one. The outfit I did concrete work for got a pin puller once for pulling the form pins (just a little lever/fulcrum type doohickey) But then would never let us use it because it was expensive.

I saw that one too. But it’s too big- only adjusts down to carry 6 bricks minimum. I need something to grip 6"-12". But yes, that is exactly what I want. Same mechanism. Just smaller. And no one makes it that I can find.
Actually, looking at it, maybe I can drill in some extra holes to make it fit smaller… Hmmmm

That can work. It can be cut too if it needs to be shorter. I couldn’t find anything on dimensions (length).

Yep. I think that is my option. Good talking it out with you folks.

Let us know if it worked. Good luck!

And when it’s all said and done, you can add paver puller to stuff you’ve made.

Are you baking bread in a toaster oven?

No- host doesn’t have a toaster oven. Also don’t really trust those to get to and keep the proper temp
Honestly though, I might try sometime in the future, just for fun.
Of all the “hacks” i’ve come up with, this mask loaf pan is definitely one that I’m quite proud of, especially given the COVID breadmaking craze. Feels like I’m throwing a middle finger at COVID

So, what do you do? Put the dough on the mask and wrap it all up in the foil? I’m very confused.

I wrapped the mask in foil to shape a loaf pan
Dough is still proofing
I dont get the mask either
mask adds a bit of structure.
Didn’t have any cardboard
