One doosey of a project!







This last project is just about to get me tired!!! We have started tiling our patio. I knew it was really big - but when you are working one tile at a time - this is redicuous. I've never been so tired or sore in my entire life. I really wanted a ledge to set up the wood burning fireplace Betty Sue & Jimmy gave us - so where you see the brick that is how tall the ledge is - we will fill it w/concrete then brick the top of it. I knew saving all that brick would come in handy some day!



So now all we lack is grouting the tile,, which will be a snap, and filling in the ledge and bricking the top of it. And, PLEASE don't ask Bobby how much all this cost - he's getting too old to stress about things like that!!! But doesn't it look great! All I need now is for Molly and Jack to come help!!!!
