Finished patio










I decided one day that I wanted to stain out patio and front porch. I did a lot of research and studding of how to do it. Lots of things that I found said to hire someone to do it. I knew that I could do it on my own. Shawn said to go for it, so about 2 weeks ago I started. And after really learning as I went and getting sick when we ere nearly complete. It is all finished. So I am posting pictures. I think that it looks great. Considering it was my first time ever to deal with acid staining and scoring concrete. I feel a pro could not have done a better job.......
I am also posting some of my plants and flowers. The rose tree that is about to bloom I have had to work very hard with but it is looking great. I think that it is finally catching up to Lisa's. The other rose tree on the ground we have had for 2 years now it looks really good. And the mini roses are blooming and looking so beautiful. Lisa and I started with new roses this year. I think that we are both doing a wonderful job with them. I also have tons of flowers in the backyard and I will post all of them when we get the patio all put back together. I really love flowers. They make me smile!!!

















God leads us in happy and sad times...

I think you are right! Our back porch was stained by a professional and it does not look near as good as yours does! I may have to call you and find out the best way to go about it when we do our front porch! First I have to figure out how to do concrete so that I can finish extending our non existent porch!
You did a wonderful job!
