Ta Da!!!! The patio is done! After some issues with materials we FINALLY have a patio off our back slider door and as far as I’m concerned it is absolutely fabulous! It took Zippercow a couple weekends to excavate the site for our latest project. It got a little rocky. Literally.
Everyone got in on the action! Child labor laws only apply if they aren’t related by blood right?
This rock boulder required a neighbor to come over so the two of them could lift it out of the ground. It left a little something behind…
A gaping hole!
Sure we were already digging most of it out but this one of course had to continue out into the lawn the we were NOT going to dig out.
Fortunately we were able to fix it so that Zippercow could do this
Do you know what is more fun than building a 216 sq ft patio in pouring rain??? Just about ANYTHING. Fortunately we have some wonderful friends and family who were stupid wonderful enough to spend their entire Saturday helping to move 8 tons (literally) of landscaping materials in the pouring rain. I’m truly glad they were there because otherwise Zippercow and I would have been up until midnight trying to finish it (we were NOT going to pay for another day for that vibratory machine!) and if it were just the two of us it may have resulted in a trial separation. I kid, I kid… Kind of.
So are you ready for the big reveal???
First a before…
Awww! Little Moo was so… little!
And now!!!
Drumroll please…
Ta Da!
Zippercow already is enjoying sitting on the back patio! He can’t really move and is quite delirious so I left him there. But it’s okay. There’s an umbrella!
