Just a "little" backyard project...

Ted decided to have a "yard crash" on our backyard this summer. We were never happy with the small concrete pad that served as our patio, so Ted decided to remedy that situation! He has done an amazing job in ridiculous heat! The project is about 70% finished. Come on cooler weather!

**All of these pictures are very out of order and they certainly do not do the project justice!
Some much deserved rest time after a long weekend working outside!
The deck is now finished, but somehow we've been too busy sitting on it to take a picture of the finished product!
Almost an "after" picture.
Ted built a retaining wall in our once very sloped backyard.
In progress...
After he tore out the concrete pad...the dogs were not too pleased with us!

The before...now, scroll back up and look at that deck! He's done a great job and I can't wait to see the finished product!
