Touching Up the Patio

A few weeks ago, we hired a friend to put in a patio.  Jack and Owen absolutely loved watching Ray and Jake work, and, well, Ray and Jake period.  It was Ray and Jake this, Ray and Jake that.  Ray would come in for a drink of water, and for a half hour, we'd talk about how Ray came inside, and was now back outside working.  The boys faces would beam anytime Ray or Jake spoke to them.  It was pretty stinkin' cute.

In my opinion, Ray and Jake did a wonderful job putting in the patio, but apparently the boys thought there was a little more work to be done.

Hmmm, I think right about there ought to do it.



Hammering away.



Owen using a little known technique to smooth out the wood.



All sturdy?



Cleaning up the dust...Jack is very thorough.



Owen deciding Jack can handle the rest, he's gonna cool off a bit!



Eeeee!



By the way, Ray and Jake did absolutely amazing, meticulous work for a great price if anyone is in the market for a patio (although all you can see are beams, they built us a beautiful pergola too)!!!
