Patio before and after

It's finished! the patio, that is. It was actually finished over a week ago, but I hadn't gotten around to taking pictures. The final touch, which was to hang the swing, was completed last week. My neighbours, Jim and Ted, were enjoying their usual evening glass of wine in Jim's back yard and heckling me as I hung the swing. Jim actually did come over and help me hang it, though :-)
We're thrilled with the end result and if you're looking for a recommendation on a construction company to do any home improvement projects, including roofing, let me know. Our guys came in much lower than any others we got quoted, and the workmanship is amazing.

Here are some before and after pictures for comparison.
