After weeks of sweat and hard labor....































































































....it's almost finished. Only a drain to fix and put the caps on the wall and the stairs. We love it. Spend much more time outside now. When it's not too hot or we are getting eaten alive. There aren't enough citronella candles in any store to fight the bugs off this year. They ARE cRaZy! We all worked hard on the patio. It was hard work. "Slave labor" if you ask the kids. We all wore holes through the fingers of our gloves. And those little paving stones are heavier than they look. We went through 9 pallets. We were dreading cutting the stones to finish off the borders but that turned out to be the easiest job of all. Always go for the big tools. Rented a wet saw. It was amazing to watch the blade cut right through the stone like a loaf of bread. We already can't wait stuff to it.....furniture, plants, a fireplace, some lighting.

Well...pictures will follow since blogger is not cooperating!

Ahhh....day 2 of trying to get pictures loaded. After 3 tries....finally.
