Pati-No More

Since we are in a round of home improvements, we also went ahead and got a couple items we wanted taken care of outside done. The kind that is way more work and effort than we can manage ourselves and winter rates are better for hiring out. I mentioned the gate previously getting done, but the other major item is the patio. We had a decent size patio, was 8' by about 35', and we had intended on just getting it resurfaced, stamped, and stained. Well...

...turns out it doesn't cost too much more to have the old one torn out and a new, better (as in one with rebar), bigger (450 sq. ft vs. 300), and prettier (curvy) one put in its place. The new pour has already happened and it's stamped and stained. Weather delays are dragging it out a bit and it won't get sealed until this coming Sunday. Here is the picture of the old gate and patio. I'll post updates when it's all finished in a few days.
