patio phase 3: DONE!

i finished the last phase of the patio project today. this has been an experience with a near vertical learning curve, but i can't bitch about the finished product.
i was going to build a cover for this, but with all the shade, it just seems like a waste to do so. putting a structure up around the patio would make the area too enclosed. i really like the way it is open, with the trees above, and the creek below. now all i need to do is spend a couple of hours tamping in the dirt around the border.
PARTY TIME!
