Today work began on the new and improved patio space. My dad has dreamed up a space that will provide a great place for entertaining and relaxation. He has designed a wall to surround the patio that will serve as seating and containment of the dirt behind it. We think that we will be able to seat 20 people comfortably, perfect for home group! Kevin now needs to build the patio cover to go above it.

Digging the trenches for the seat wall.

Preparing the molds for the rounded edges of the seat wall.

Ready for concrete for the slab beneath the shed.

Cement is here!

My dad chose a dark charcoal gray color to match the house.
