backyard update... for those interested

Casey had his "weekend" Thursday and Friday, so nice since the weather was good....so he worked on our backyard project along with my dad, his dad, Abe, and Eddie.  Here is what we have completed thus far.  We are hoping to pour our concrete next Saturday, weather permitting.  

Work Day #1...
Forms are started and gravel is being brought in
Here is our patio...note we are putting in a door where the window is currently so we will have access to the patio from the dinning room.  I can't wait.
Ooops this is the beginning of day 1...
Moving the gate back so we will have parking along side the garage...
Work Day #2...end results...

The big black thing is a flow drain that is going in the ground....we have 2 of them because we have serious water issues.  Casey dug two  3 ft deep holes about 3 ft wide too.  He's so manly.
The steps up to the patio...
The patio...you can see part of the hole that the drain goes in
