Adventures in Concrete

We decided to spend our “stimulus refund” on enlarging our patio, adding a sidewalk to the backyard, and a putting in a pad for a shed. We are one of those families ignoring the current state of rising prices and spending our rebate on something we don’t actually need. Not really a frugal decision but one we are quite happy with.

Below are some photos that show some of the progress.

Make sure you check out all of them, my son has invented a unique past-time!








A landscaper is supposed to come and get rid of the dirt and fix the dog run area but he’s MIA. I’ll post some finished pics when it’s all done.

Complete with my new patio furniture ;)

    You should get new patio furniture with nice cushy seats with a fancy umbrella and why not throw in a bar with bar stools. I’m sure Ed could go for that.

    That is going to be nice. I used our money, which we haven’t received yet, on my new sewing machine.
