Home Improvements...

This weekend was all about our newest "home improvement" project. The patio is coming along. My mom & dad came up this weekend and my dad stenciled our patio to look like flagstone. It quite the process. You start by laying down a stencil pattern. So to do that we had to use a spray adhesive and sticky tape to adhear it to the concrete. Then you spray a colored motar mix using a hopper over the stencil. When it's all dry you remove the stencil and... VOILA! It then has to been swept and cleaned before it can be sealed.

As for the next few weekends - those will be devoted to building the short wall around the patio. Tyler's BIG project!

We also celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary this weekend. Officially June 1st! At least it's not 104 degrees today like it was the day we got married... One major detail we will never forget!

Check out some pics of PHASE 2 of the patio.
