Patiorific!
This weekend we finally finished the patio. I am glad to have that done and I don't ever want to make another patio myself again. However, considering the money we saved doing this ourselves, I may have to...
We went from this...
...to this.
Once we got the foundation in it wasn't so bad...
...and went rather quickly.
And, we're done!
The fireplace.
looks awesome.. I built a brick patio last year, and it was a complete pain. Looks like you may have had an easier time of things.

— Matt Jul 14, 11:39 AM #Matt, did I mention that Jon and I want a brick patio in the backyard? I think I found the man for the job…oh and bring your “hod-carrier” (my daughter) and your foreman too:-)!!! All kidding aside…looks awesome!!!
— Diane Jul 14, 11:56 AM #Looks great… a great experience too i bet.
— Dan Jul 14, 12:43 PM #Great experience …uh yeah….how about just an experience…that we hope to never have again:)
— Anne Jul 14, 01:00 PM #if by great you mean large and overwhelming, then yes. ;)
— Matt Jul 14, 01:51 PM #wow, nice job! It looks real good and solid.
Laurie came up with a list of yard projects for me to do this Spring, none of which i’ve done:)
You two have done a great job with your house and yard!
