Done...

Well, it's all finished. We planned a weekend project and actually finished it in a weekend! I will not claim that I did all the work because that is FAR from the truth. Corey did 95% of it, the kids kept "helping" him along (& he'd go back over it) and I helped when I could. Yesterday we ran into a couple of snags with the project when we ran into thick roots all over the place and had to cut (umm.. ax) through them. What a pain. So the final picture is not here but the patio extension is complete!

So the kids don't have anywhere but the side of the house to dig in now. Poor them, but at least the patio won't be covered in dirt any more! :)

One more step closer to completing our planned projects for this old house!
