Patio Project Under Way!

Dad and I are at it again.

Digging, digging, digging, and then more digging. We dug post holes, we dug trenches, we dug around boulders... we dug in 95 degree weather.

We also determined that approximately 50% of the land we own consists of rock. One boulder in particular caused us to grow our deck an extra foot, because the 4+ foot long rock was exactly where we wanted to put a deck posts.

However, with steady work from sunrise to sunset and careful planning, the end of the weekend yielded all objectives complete and a job well done. Our deck posts are set, our drainage tiles are ran, the hot tub wiring is complete, and we even ran electricity to the corner of our property for a future outbuilding.

Everything is set for the concrete crew to come next week. We'll keep you posted as we continue on the project.

Thank you so much, Mom and Dad, for driving all the way out here and helping us build our backyard masterpiece!
