Okay, so it's been a while since I have updated this. I wasn't sure if anybody was really looking at it, and then I've had some complaints since... sooo I guess we'll see if it's all for not. ;)

We did the patio! The back yard finally received it's due, and we now have a wonderful sitting area, sticker-free. In the rough range of about 200 sq. ft - as long as you're not sitting there in the high heat of the day, it's a pretty nice place to rest.

Courtney helped me level the dirt, and Justin assisted in carrying a large number of paver stones to the backyard as well as making cuts - all, feats in themselves. It took a while to actually start the process, but once I started laying the stones in, they went pretty fast. You could really start seeing it come together pretty quick.

Note: When you do a random pattern with paver stones, be prepared to lay, remove, and relay again. Wowza!

I'm really glad that this got done though - it ties the whole backyard together quite nicely, and I'm extremely pleased with the finished product. I recommend to anybody who is up to the challenge to try and put one in.

Special thanks to Courtney, Justin, and Arturo (for FREE truck rental). Love you all - I appreciate you guys!
