Patio Reveal
13 June 2010
This couple at This Fresh Fossil have been busy digging up a large surprise. This is what They found.
About one year ago, we found out there was a patio buried in our backyard.
About 2 months ago, we began to dig it up.
About 2 weeks ago, I began power washing it.
Just in time for our first ever Patio Party.
Why would anyone literally bury this cement patio?
I guess we'll never know.
Want to know our budget breakdown for getting our new huge patio?
Zero dollars.
Sa-weet.
Lots of wark. Looks like they can now sit back and
relax on their new patio. I love projects that cost
nothing. What are your thoughts?

Sa-weet!!! I wonder if I can find a patio in my back yard (Likely not as it's an old cow pasture).

Hey I've never found anything THAT functional when I go digging in my backyard! Awesome... :)
Ohmygosh, thanks so much for featuring us! I was catching up on my favorite blogs in my reader when I saw the photo of my hubby in our backyard, and I was like - wait a second, this picture looks familiar...!
Thanks so much for the wonderful comments, everyone. And to answer some questions: our next-door neighbor originally told us about the buried patio (we never would have known!) - apparently she looked out of her window one day to see the previous owner dumping a truck-load of dirt onto the patio. Crazy, huh?
Thanks again for featuring us - it's our first -but hopefully not our last! ;)
