I have been nervous to post here but I’m ready to hear it. I took out a rotting deck this summer and decided to go with a DIY paver patio. 8” of compacted gravel base and 1” torpedo sand. I used the 60 mm sangria Market Pavers from Oaks landscaping products. Overall all I am pretty happy but did get some haze from the polymeric sand, even though I am certain I followed the manufacturers instructions and YouTubers tips correctly. I had to replace the mud sill and siding on the house before I add a step to the sliding door. I can’t wait to finish the landscaping around it this spring!

Not sure if I see it, but definitely add a paver edge restraint to lock everything in.
Finished product looks good but 90% of paver work is in the base. In a couple years you’ll know if you did the base right or not
I think we’ll know better how you did in a few years. Looks great to start once the old deck connection is replaced with stairs
Good job! It will be exceptional once you get your chair, plants etc on it.
