New patio!

We have needed a new place to sit outside for a while ever since we tore off part of our deck that was rotting away. The rents (AKA landlords) helped us get some concrete a few weeks back and we FINALLY started on it today.


We used a stone paver mold to make the look. All the little dots are seashells. I also sprinkled sand in each one. (Yes, I know concrete already has sand in it...but this is beach sand!) and you can see it on top of some of them.


Dustin mixed and really worked hard.

I smoothed and added the seashells and sand. :)

My hair was all wet...it's close to 100 degrees here, so we kept soaking out heads in the water hose. I was way past vanity at this point!

We are almost finished and are saving up for a new patio set and umbrella!
Back to work in the morning...!

Looks good Lori! You two worked hard on it, and soon you will have it done. This landlord thinks you have done a great job!
Love, Mom
