Thought it was time to get some 'almost done' pictures of the pool posted. And it just rained and the pavers look really nice! We still need to get some sealer on them. Once that's done, I hope that they will keep some of this shiny, wet look.
Today is a nice, quiet and little bit rainy Sunday. I woke up at 5:30am, rolled over and went back to sleep until 7:30am. That's a pretty good sleep in. Felt wonderful. And just as I was getting out of bed, Adam was crawling back in. I think it's going to be a lazy day. Perfect! We had workers here most of the week. Adam's idea, not mine. He wanted to get the last of the big concrete projects done...a couple of sidewalks and the pad for the outdoor kitchen. As much as I didn't want to tackle more work, I have to admit that it does look amazing. Maybe now we can slow down a bit.

The front sidewalk looks great. We had planned to make it out of pavers but we didn't order enough. So, the sidewalk is poured concrete with paver edging. Love it. Once the concrete is thoroughly set (about 30-60 days) we'll stain it to match it closer to the pavers.
We also had a pad built for the kitchen and a sidewalk to the outdoor shower. They are still pretty rough looking so I'll post pics later. Still working on the vision but I think we have a pretty good idea of what we want. The kitchen will have a counter, mini fridge, BBQ, sink and bar area. And then we'll cover it all in with a pergola. Shade is so important. The northerner in me still resists blocking out the sun but let's be real! Must have shade.
