Project: Patio

The last few weeks I have been a bit MIA. Just about 2 weeks ago now, we layed sod. It has taken so nicely and is a nice rich, dark green. We also bough some Junipers to place along that not-so-attractive green electrical box out front...Which still need to be planted!

However, our most daunting task this summer-so far has been our concrete patio.

ALMOST.THERE.CAN.SEE.LIGHT.AT.END.OF.TUNNEL.

Dave has done such a phenomenal job at keeping positive and working oh.so.hard! Its deifnitely a challenge to help Dave as well as watch both girls and have everyone stay happy all at the same time.

Anyways, Were in the final stages. Dave and my dad, as we speak are out back laying the rebar and thats all folks. The rest is left to our concrete finisher who will come today, confirm everything looks good and book the pour one day this week (weather permitting. PLEASE WEATHER!).

Here's a few pics...

Bobcat

Have no fear, the bobcat was gone at this point.

Brackets have been made by Dave and my Dad and holes dug, brackets burried and finally, starting to shovel in the 11yards if gravel.

Mom kicking ass hauling gravel.

Final stages, rebar!

A few cute pics too :) Emmy's first pony!

We soaked up every.single.sunny moment!
