Patio Update

Cody worked on our new patio for the majority of the weekend, save for a couple of trips to Menard's to get MORE sand! It was so hot outside and he worked so hard that he went through 3 shirts! But he did seem to get a lot done. He's pretty sure he has enough sand down and is ready to start laying the bricks. He had trouble getting some good pictures though because it was so humid that the lens on the camera kept fogging up!!! Here are a few that he managed to get.

There is a pretty big drop off from the last stair on the deck to the ground so he is building a landing at the bottom. In between the landing and the patio will be brick stairs that match the patio bricks. I think it is going to look awesome once it's finished!

He was able to get the bricks in the landing last night before he quit.

Now we just have to find time for him to finish it! We are busy next weekend but he's hoping to get some work done on it after he gets home throughout the week. Those of you that know Cody well know it is rare for him to make it home from work before 7pm, but lately it's been as late as 9:30pm. So we'll see how this working throughout the week goes!
