Last time in the patio series, I had attempted to tidy up the concrete and failed. Since then, we repaired it. My husband made a form and it was complicated but basically plan a and b failed but we improvised and it worked out. I don't have pictures on my phone anymore but might add them in later from my hard drive.
Here we dug out a bunch of the cleanfill with shovels and wheelbarrowed it into a borrowed truck to deliver to the dump. It was expensive to do that so we looked at Kijiji for alternative places to bring it without luck as they ended up being too far for millage for the rented truck price. At this point it was getting expensive and time consuming so we looked into getting the work done by a local business. We ended up having two brothers finish the job for us. They suggested a slightly different stone as it would be available right away and they could finish faster. We wanted the herringbone pattern, which is so beautiful. They did an amazing job.
Since it was done in October and the stones needed to settle for a month before coating it, we are still waiting on the warmer spring weather to clean it and coat it! Though I am so excited for many patio memories to come!
