Patio

Well.. we finally got our concrete pad outside of our walkout basement. It only took us six years to do it. This is only the first part of the plans we have for the walkout basement.

Early in the morning on Friday, October 27th, the concrete guys started their work. The boys were glued to the window the entire time.. they really wanted to go out and help.

Rosie was just as curious as the boys were.

This guy is tamping down the sand... Nolan said he was mowing the dirt.

I took Nolan out when Connor was taking a nap. He just had to get close to the bobcat.

The boys had to wait through the weekend before they could see the concrete truck.. boy were they excited when it arrived.

Looking at the west side of the concrete pad.

You can see Connor watching them run the screeder.. the thing that smooths the concrete.

The last of the concrete going in the southeast corner of the pad.

Nolan helped me put their shoeprints in the concrete.. he did a great job writing his name.

The finished product... now all we have to do is the retaining wall, the roof, and the siding.
