Progress on the backyard

Louanne on Aug 25th 2008

Our big project of the year has been to re-do the back yard. (okay, to actually DO something to the backyard is more like it). So a little photo show of what has been accomplished so far. We are totally loving the new stamped concrete patio and the fabulous job Monster Constructors did on it.

All done!

    Looks nice! I have patio envy now. Mine is cracked and sinking into nowhere. We have the worst back yard!

    Your patio is gorgeous! Stamped concrete? Did you do it yourself? I wonder if I could get the hubs out there. hee-hee ;)

    You’re going to have some good times out there! I wish ours could look as nice, but it’s not really worth it (to us) given that we don’t spend much time outside (nasty, humid weather) and our backyard is the size of a postage stamp! (OK, maybe it’s a little bigger….)

    Sara- no we paid a company and they poured the patio and stamped and colored it. We only had a 2′ x 3′ stoop before.

    Cristina - LOL!

    KP - it’s nasty here right now, but I am very excited about the fall.
    Nadia LOVES to be outside.

    Louanne,

    Ok - in retrospect, I looked back at the man doing the work in your backyard & realized it wasn’t your husband. Shoulda looked before I asked :)

    Louanne, I love the patio. It is so cool what they can do with concrete.
    Looks very enjoyable now.

    It looks amazing! What a nice place to sit back, and a cool drink and watch Nadia playing in the yard.

    Cheers, Kiy

    P.S. I think Mae and I have the same backyard! :)
