Building Our Patio

Just over a year after building our sun room we decided to finish the area below it with a basic concrete square block paver. The area had always been troublesome and we tried a few things over the years but decided to go with the pavers. Once we did that we were able to do some finish mulch work that that was desperately needed. While we were at it we finished the white stain and added a second and in some cases a third coat of stain to the the steps and landing of the sun room. There is always next year to finish up the backyard and we have been thinking about trimming down the two big maples. A little bit each year. Here are a few pictures of the patio before and after.

Photography has remained a constant in my life since I was a child. I currently shoot with Nikon D7100 and a Sony NEX-6. My iPhones have gotten a lot of use as well (currently an iPhone 6+). I take pictures of just about anything, but my favorite is cars, all types of cars. Over the years I have abandoned the tripod, and do more run and gun stuff. I am pretty good at holding the camera steady, however once in a while I dig out the Manfrotto and get a few pics. I have a photo website that contains over 8,200 pictures at Photos.BhagaVideo.com, and my blog is at Harold-Brown.com. I do everything for my own enjoyment so you will see some great pics and some not so great pics. Many of my pictures are just quick shots to remember the day. I am constantly looking at what I did in the past and changing my likes and style as time goes on. Always ready for the latest and greatest and never stuck in the past.
