How to construct a patio in 1.5 days.

Or: how to make it so you can’t walk in 2.5 days.

Friends, I am sore. Earth-shatteringly, bone-crunchingly sore. Can’t get up easily sore. Can’t get out of cars without shrieking sore. SORE. But, it was worth it because instead of working on a patio this fourth of July, I was having coffee on a finished patio this fourth of July. And now I await our first ever, tiny barbecue this fourth of July.

Wanna see why I’m crippled? Below:

And one of Kate putting me to shame with how stylish she makes her shattered body look:

All reminds me of lyrics from the current summer jam, if you will – “Bruises” by Chairlift:

Hot July ain’t good to me
I’m pink and black and blue

I got bruises on my knees for you
And grass stains on my knees for you
Got holes in my new jeans for you
Got pink and black and blue

Did I mention our neighbor’s car caught fire in the midst of admiring the patio this morning?
