Rock Patio

Well, this project was actually completed a while ago. I got a bunch of red rock from up the canyon and slowly plugged away at making a stone walkway from the front of the house all the way along the side to the back connecting to the pool patio. There used to be a flagstone walkway there that drove me crazy because all the little rock would get kicked up on the flagstone all the time. I just wanted a continuous pathway. Plus, I think the red rock walkway lookes a lot better. I moved all the flagstone to the other side of the house where I plan on putting in a little patio next to our BBQ grill. Heather thinks I'm half-crazy. It took a lot longer and was a lot more work than I ever imagined it would be, but I am very happy with the results. I had some help from Heather's Mom when she came out to visit a while back as well. When we finished the job, I used some leftover cement for all of our handprints, including baby drakes (he was about a month old at the time I think). Once that job was done, I couldn't stop getting rocks to make a "dry creek bed" going down the right side of the house to add some color to the front landscape. I have meant to put some pictures of the final project up on the blog for a while now but I just have let that one slip through the cracks. Here you finally go. Enjoy, but don't ask for any help putting one in of your own. My back and knees laugh at the very idea...
