~ 1543 bricks later...the patio is done ~



Wow what a job...we had no idea how much time and energy laying the patio would take. It ended measuring 13' X 23'. Mr. Sweetie out did himself. Now it is time to finish the flower beds, crushed granite sidewalks, complete the fireplace/mantel and decorate with patio furniture...more to follow.

      Wow, you counted the bricks. I was more interested in your thriving plants. You've got both structure (bricks), and soft(plants) together, so you cannot go wrong--you have the essential yin-yang balance to make a harmonious space.

      You did such a lovely job! It takes a lot of work, but I really think it paid off! If you're looking for furniture you should take a look at The Sportsman's Guide. They have a Lawn & Patio page that has all kinds of fun stuff to spruce up the backyard! My wife and I got an outdoor fireplace( I noticed you were making one) over there and a bunch of other great stuff like a hammock for me to nap in!
