Needless to say, the people who had it before us did very little to take care of it. But it's 2011 and what a difference a year makes! It has been a lot of work but we can now say that we have a home that we are happy with. With the help of a lot of gracious friends, our side patio has made a great transformation.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Before</div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tYYjH-HwSTc/Tbxz_FT6kwI/AAAAAAAAAOY/MiKKVr-MK4k/s320/DSC_0601.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601479564136715010" /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">After</div><div><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1lUC9Se3PdU/Tbxz_Y8wEkI/AAAAAAAAAOg/8OEXgnbeeZ8/s320/photo.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601479569408266818" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 239px; " /></div><div><br /></div><div>Our second patio has really come together as well. When we bought the house it literally looked like a jungle outside the master bedroom. Restoring this area was a TON of work, but it has proven to be well worth it. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Before</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uStpe-CqR8Q/Tbx3Q42M43I/AAAAAAAAAOo/MVaSrqSqUbo/s320/DSC_0595.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601483168563389298" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">After</div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h-x1EwovC3U/Tbx3ROYeG5I/AAAAAAAAAOw/MmUgztvrgL8/s1600/photo.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h-x1EwovC3U/Tbx3ROYeG5I/AAAAAAAAAOw/MmUgztvrgL8/s320/photo.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601483174344268690" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px; " /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uStpe-CqR8Q/Tbx3Q42M43I/AAAAAAAAAOo/MVaSrqSqUbo/s1600/DSC_0595.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uStpe-CqR8Q/Tbx3Q42M43I/AAAAAAAAAOo/MVaSrqSqUbo/s1600/DSC_0595.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uStpe-CqR8Q/Tbx3Q42M43I/AAAAAAAAAOo/MVaSrqSqUbo/s1600/DSC_0595.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18380616-8712226702630445185?l=tcschwa.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>TC Schwindlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17309000824754600687noreply@blogger.com0
