we built this patio all by ourselves. manual labor at its best.
here it is...the fruit of our hard labor. let me just give you some important details. this patio took 1 solid week, 3 1/2 tons of crushed rock (that I moved with my hands, a trusty shovel, and a wheelbarrow) , several hundred pounds of sand, and many, many concrete pavers...not to mention lots of time and sweat. o, and its all level (that's the most impressive part, by the way.) me and my dad. we did it. and i have a monster bruise on my right thigh to prove it.
in the picture, we have louis, laura's HUGE puppy (yes, he still has 50 pounds to gain), my dad, the project manager (isnt he cute?), brad, my mom, and laura in the background. the yard is still a work-in-progress, but in my opinion, we've made a big difference so far. and it looks fabulous. (im biased, though.)
