In the beginning, this is what my patio looked like. Notice, there is no patio.

This is after the 12'x12' hole was dug, two tons of gravel, and one ton of sand were dropped in. That is Scott on the right and my dad sitting on the porch.

These are some of the raw materials.

Some mesquite-smoked garlic-teriyaki glazed chicken on the grill.
