Project: Patio Construction

Most weekends my family is involved in "projects."  Sometimes they are small, like yard work, or a minor construction job.  Other weekends (especially long weekends) they are quite major, like redoing a kitchen or bath.  This past weekend we enlarged our patio.  Doing this helped move the sandbox and grill off the driveway, and moved the table out giving more conversation seating.  Here is the look at the process.

Mom left for a girls trip, so no more pictures were taken until she returned the next day.  The guys were too busy working.
