Finished Patio!

Here are some pictures of the completed patio. We are still working on planting some trees and puttting decomposed granite in the back part by the fence.

Here is a picture from the back door


Here are a few others. We can't wait to have company to help us enjoy it.

New Patio

We have been talking about what we wanted to do with the backyard since we moved in February. We finally did something about it this week. I contacted someone on Saturday evening and he was out in less than an hour to look at it. He said he could start on Monday, but then ended up calling back later that night to see if he could start digging up the grass and mulch on Sunday. Of course, I said sure!! Two guys came out on Sunday and got the ground ready and were going to start the rock, but a flat tire on their trailer prevented that from happening. They showed up bright an early on Monday morning with the materials and 4 more guys and got to work. They did most of the work yesterday and are finishing up right now. It looks great.

This is a picture I just took through the back door window....didn't want them to think I was crazy taking pictures of them working :)



Anyway, they are working on one last section and filling the gaps with sand and then they will be done. Not bad for 2 1/2 days work...more than we would have ever gotten done on our own, plus it is so much nicer to watch the progress from the comforts of the air conditioning!

I will post completed pictures once we get the patio furniture on it and stuff, possibly later tonight or tomorrow.

We can't wait to actually use it tomorrow night when friends are coming over and then next week while Mom, Jessica and the kids are here!
