Patio in progress






Here are a few pictures of the patio, in progress. You'd think by now I'd learn to take a before picture, but no, I still didn't remember. Let's put it this way...the patio was much more even, although it was starting to sink into the retaining wall, which used to be made out wood. They shortened the patio. The old one used to come out to where all the dirt is now. As you can see by the pictures they are really puzzle piecing it together. I'm not too concerned about that, because they reused the bluestone we already had to save us money. I think once the morter or whatever they use is down, it will be fine. We are more concerned about the tiles that are sticking up causing a trip hazard or the ones that wobble when you stand on them. The tiles under the patio door have been fixed and look good. They aren't wobbly and are even. But, beyond the patio door, everything else needs fixed, including the step down, as you can see. We're hopeful they will come back tomorrow. Brian will be home so he said he's going to silently stalk them from Brandon's bedroom window. I'm hopeful this time around will be more successful and we will get to use the patio by next weekend.

Ummm, yeah... that looks like crap! I sure hope the second attempt is better. Stupid contractors...
