New Patio

So it turns out that Sean and I are not great with landscaping. There is just not enough time in the day, and it's not a top priority. So to solve that problem we decided to make our large flowerbed in the front of the house into a patio. Lucky for us we had some slate in a corner of the backyard that was just wasting space and it was almost enough for the area. We solved that problem by digging up the little path in the front yard and we were golden. We spent a few late nights and had a little help from Mae but we got it done. All that's left is the mossy ground cover to secure the stones.

It was basically a life size puzzle. Even Mae got into figuring out where to place the pieces.

Since we did the work by nightfall the camping lantern was awesome. It provided plenty of light to work by.

It was all laid down but it needed to be tweaked just a bit. So we broke a few stones to give it some character.

Done! Sean just needed to get the sand and fill in the cracks.
