Mark knew we wanted to fix the cracked patio to stop water leaking, so when Donna and Randy built their pool, garage, etc., we went a little further. New patio, driveway, walkways with brick inserts, two roofs, re-paint outside, pressure wash, new shutters, re-side out-building plus paint, 50 new plants, new sod. For those of you that want this type of stuff done, it ran from March into August.
Also the 4 slabs of grass sod that just got to take hold in August was the day before the county banned outdoor watering. It did look good for a while.
