Enlarging my patio
by
Jim McGovern
(IC: homeowner)
My patio outside my screenroom was small (10x10') and I wanted to make more room for furniture and cooking out. I started by digging a two foot area on the edge of the existing patio. I then mixed bags of concrete and pored it to the level of my existing patio. Since I was mixing two bags at a time in a wheelbarrow. I used wood to limit the flow of the concrete with needed. I then repeated the process untill I went around the patio. I also made an area next to the house to store my grill. After completing the extension I layed stones in a patern over the entire area. Needless to say I was very happy with the results.
Enjoyed the project?
