The Finished Product

Thanks to everyone getting on my case about posting pictures of the completed project, here they are! These pictures don't show the color very well, but at least you can get a general idea of what it looks like. This took all Summer to build, and there are still a few lingering things to finish, but for all intents and purposes, it is done. AND WE LOVE IT!!!

This is the view from the backyard.
This view includes the gas fire pit on the left. (Sorry about the sun glare.)

This is the lower patio with the fire pit and sitting wall. (The pit isn't done yet. There will be some flagstone all around the top of it.) That fire pit is the best! All you have to do is turn the gas on and light it! No matches, no smoke, no sparks! And yes, we can still cook marshmallows over it!

The colors probably won't come through too well, but this is what the cement on the patio looks like. We were a little hesitant about it at first, but everything came together so well in the end.
This is the deck up top.

So thanks for everyone insisting I post pictures! We are so thrilled to be able to enjoy our backyard even more, and love having friends and family over to enjoy it with us!

Come on over!
