If they are the concrete pavers, it's even harder to get a straight line with a hammer and chisel. It's really easy to end up with a handful of chunks instead of the shape you wanted even when being extremely careful.

I'll check that out. Thanks! I've got to get it finished because when they repave the driveway (the clock is at 3.5 weeks and ticking for the base settling) a section of the asphalt will come right up to the patio. The finished patio will be 14'x26' with arc transition from the far corner of the foundation to the turnaround. Might just need to fill some of that place with a new grille and fire pit!
The trick has been to maintain the visual gap between the slab and the foundation, which are about 3* off from being perpendicular, while keeping the X and Y axis lines fairly straight. Give a little here, take a little there.
It's been bugging me so much trying to get them close. The funny thing is it's replacing a haphazardly constructed 12'x16' patio with no base and 24"x24" hideous 1970's diamond-pattern pool surround pavers that we lived with for 10 years. I don't know why I'm fretting it so much.
