Our New Patio


Well after about 10+ trips to Home Depot, a visit from my parents and a lot of hard work by my Dad, we have a new patio. My dad laid stone pavers and built a wooden pergola for our backyard. Gus and I had originally planned to build a deck (a very large deck), but after determining the cost and the amount of time it would take, we decided to go in another direction. Our new plan to have the pergola and pavers cost about a 1/3 of what the deck was going to cost us.

My parents were here last week and my dad spent most of his vacation working on this project for us. Laying stone pavers and building a pergola was a first for him, but he did a fantastic job. Gus and I absolutely love what he was able to do.

Our next plan is to purchase real patio furniture. We're hoping to get a good deal after the July 4th holiday.
