Concrete

This weekend we took on the task of pouring a concrete pad on the side of our house. We have a ridiculous amount of room on our side yards (about 30 ft. on each side), and as a result the concrete serves two functions: a space for the samurai to sit and one less area that I have to weed.

Adam prepped the area this past week and on Saturday morning we poured it. Patrick and Derek (our neighbors) came over to help Adam pour and finish the pad. They were a huge help. I have come to really appreciated that Adam knows how to do concrete. We save a ton of money by doing these projects ourselves and it is really gratifying to see our hard work pay off.

The pad is about 15 x 17 ft and has a 3 ft wide walkway running off of it to the back yard. I cannot wait to put the samurai out there so that my car can get back into the warm garage (especially since winter is coming).

Next weekend we will be taking on the fence...but for now, we are one step closer to having a finished yard.
