On Saturday we had someone come by to give us a quote for pouring a stamped concrete patio. He said he should be able to get started probably on Wednesday, we said that was great and I planned to work from home so that someone would be around if they had any questions about anything.
On Tuesday we got a call around 11am that they were ready to start if we were ready for them. Panic!
I couldn’t find my boss but he’s a pretty good guy so I sent him an email and told him I’d be working from home for the rest of the day because the patio was going in early. Now that I think about it I never did hear anything from him about that, so I’m guessing that means he was OK with it!
So they started around 11:30 and I think they may have left around 7:30 that night, but it looks SO GOOD! It was just two men working on it, a guy and his dad, and they really did such a great job. I can’t say enough good things about them, so if anyone knows anyone in the area who needs a patio I can make a recommendation!
Anyways, my mom said she couldn’t believe I hadn’t posted about it yet, and she’s right! I would have posted about it on Tuesday except that I was reading Twilight which came in the mail Tuesday. Which is another post all on its own.
So it’s done, and it’s awesome and it needs a little cleanup around the edges which I’m sort of unsure how to do, but we’re definitely thrilled with the results!
Beautiful!

Wow, it looks great! We’d love to do that under our deck some day. Do you mind if I ask how much it cost? Just so I know if it will be 5 years or 50 before we can afford it 🙂
