A House Remodel!

Ragnar and I have been talking about extending our back patio for a while. We enjoy sitting outside and watching the kids play, but we never really had a space to do that in. Due to an unexpected bonus this year, Ragnar and I decided to spend some of the money we always put in savings and build a patio. We got a few quotes and decided to go with a man named Bernardo Sibaja-Torres. He is a man that several of our neighbors used and recommended. Here are the beginning to end photos.

This is what we had before. This tiny patch of concrete.

It begins...

My peeping tom pictures of them working as I sent updates to Ragnar at work.

Stamping the concrete.

 Bottom finished..on to the cover.

He FINALLY finished!! He told us it would take 3-5 days. On day 20 he was finished. I tried to be patient because his brother died and he had to take care of business there with his family, but when he didn't come back hardly at all for another week I was very frustrated. I am so glad it's done and there are no more workers at our house!!! I am excited to put some furniture out there and play games and BBQ together!!
