We contacted a company to give us an estimate on a new patio. They gave us an estimate on Thursday June 12th and by........
(BEFORE)
June 17th they started work and this was the end of day 1.
And of course the boys had to play in the dirt and...
gravel.
These guys were awesome....They finished in a day and a half and they originally said it would take 3 days. We were so surprised that we got an estimate and 6 days later we had a finished patio.
(AFTER)
Of course...we've got to make the finishing touches to it. We are going to put lights in and flowers around the edges. We also hope to change one of those windows into a door so we can walk out from the bedroom.
Our other patio was just a concrete slab that was in an awkard spot...if you notice in the first picture...it is towards the side of the house and you can't see the backyard if you sit there.
We were so excited to have it complete before Jack's party today.
We also just got that patio furniture. We will be looking for an umbrella and pads for the chairs.
We've been in this house for 6 1/2 years and we are finally going to enjoy being in the backyard. We have done so much to it in just 2 months. We created a garden, built a swingset, and a patio.
Chad had drawn up these plans for the patio a few years ago and we have been so busy with life that we haven't done it.....now I'm glad we have. I'm looking forward to cookouts with friends and family on the patio.
Today, we got to enjoy our first cookout on the patio...it was Jack's birthday so I will be posting about that soon.
