LABOR Day Weekend

So Nate and I finally got around to doing something with our backyard. My parents graciously offered to put the plants and rock in for us. We looked into what it would cost to pay someone to have pavers put in, but it was going to be a lot more than we were hoping to pay. We decided to try and attempt to do it ourselves. As you can see the finished product looks awesome!!!

The plan was to start with sand and pavers Saturday morning. We got the sand delivered and moved back to the patio area... just in time for the DOWNPOUR!! We watched it pour for 30 minutes solid. My parents left and Nate and I ran errands. We kept watching to see how much water evaporated. Later saturday afternoon we started laying pavers and got about half of the patio laid. We finished Sunday mid afternoon. It was hard work but we are thrilled with how it turned out. The last step is to lay rock around the patio and the plants in the back yard. And get a patio table and chairs. We are excited to use it this fall!!
