Our new patio

My handy husband put down a stone patio over the past few weeks. We had no place to sit outside and enjoy our nice Colorado weather. It was covered in rock so he dug out all the rock and layed 166 stone pavers. Here is the before picture.

Thad was a good foreman and told Adam how to lay the stone!! (so if it's crooked Adam blames Thad!)


He also showed him how to use a rubber mallet.


We needed something to seperate where the patio ended and the other rock is so Adam built this neat wall. (this is my favorite part of the patio)
This is the back side of the wall

Thad and Chauchi gave their final inspection on the patio and gave us the okay!

Now we have somewhere to eat dinner on nice nights and enjoy the nice Colorado weather. I'm glad I have a handy husband who likes to do all these projects around the house! Thank you to all you other "little helpers" who helped out!

Great job, guys! Looks awsome. I really like the pavers. And I really like the back of the wall (wink, wink)
