Three Out of Four Ain't Bad

Powerwash the cement slab......CHECK

Powerwash the retaining wall.......CHECK

Stain the retaining wall........CHECK

Purchase patio furniture...........................

Hey, 3 out of 4 ain't bad! It only took a few hours too. And wow. The retaining wall looks brand new. I could say the same for the cement slab, but the powerwashing didn't seem to get everything as clean as we hoped. Oh well. Maybe now that it's exposed to the elements, the stains might want to let go of the cement after a few months. Who knows? All I care about is that our yard is looking great (have we mentioned that we love being homeowners?). Nice and open and ready for entertaining! Well, almost. Now that it's the end of the season, we might wait to get patio stuff later. There's no sense in getting all new stuff, use it a couple of times, and then let it sit in the rain during the winter.

So, who wants to have a BBQ at our place??
