The Patio

As you can tell in the photos, we've been a little busy on
the patio!! Usually this would be one of the last things
to worry about doing, but since we're needing to get
the retaining wall done, the patio needed to be done.
We were going to do pavers or cobblestones for the patio
but after seeing the price and the time it would take, we
decided to just pour a slab and be done. So instead of
just having a plain jane concrete slab, Doy decided to score
the concrete and make it look like large pieces of Flagstone
and then stain it a couple of different colors. So Doy spent
most of the day Saturday and Sunday scoring the slab, and
then we stained it yesterday afternoon. These pictures were
taken last night after we had finished. We're going to go back
today and do a little touch up and then we'll steam clean the
residue off and seal it. The really dark stones will lighten up
some, so look for more pictures this week of the final results !
