The Patio


So for the last few months I have been working on a brick
patio behind the house. After what seemed like an eternity it 
is at last finished!
Here are some pictures of the patio before and after.

BEFORE




AFTER
The bricks were used bricks from the dump
that were hand picked and scraped.

Dad helped me a lot. He showed me how to level the ground,
pour cement, lay bricks, and back fill with mortar.
Dad also is the one who put down 99.8% of the bricks.
I filled all the cracks, by hand, with mortar. 


















Tada! There you have it, a Patio

  2. I remember your describing what you were going to do in this space when I visited. It really turned out great. Nice design, wonderful craftsmanship.
    When you're finished with whatever Mom wants you to do in Seattle, I want you to know we have some extra bricks here too...and I know where to get more.
    Thanks for sending us this link. We are both quite impressed.
