Our Home Improvement Project

Sorry it's been awhile since I posted last! Travis and I are currently renting a house with quite a large backyard, but we felt like we couldn't enjoy the actual yard much since the only patio was a narrow area next to the house. Our patio table fit, but it was a tight squeeze. We decided we wanted to put in a flagstone patio in the back of the house to add a little more room. The landlord agreed to pay for the flagstone, so we just put in the labor.

After a hectic summer, we finally got around to the project last Sunday. Our friend Nick, whom I work with, was nice enough to come help. We repaid him in the form of burgers, guacamole, and beer.

Before.

 After digging out the very, very hard dirt.

Tada!! After. (That's Nick.)

We're pleased with the results. Finished just in time for....Fall. We haven't had any freak snowstorms or cold fronts yet, so maybe we'll get to use it before Winter really starts.
