Tharren, always the ambitious one, decided to put in a patio. No objections here! So here are a few quick photos to see the process...
Before the patio, it will be on the left side of the photo just off the stairs of our deck.
We took out bushes, a tree, lots of rocks, and some grass. It was a huge muddy, dirty mess and I started to doubt it would ever get done!But lo and behold...it was a mere week later that that my ultra A-mazing huband pulled off yet another incredible project!
We LOVE this patio and have already spent many a wonderful summer nights watching the fire flies, eating dinner, roasting marshmallows and watching the kids play from this new favorite spot!
