I also want a new Patio to put the spa pool on so we'll be talking to concrete guys and stuff aswell. Our house is just two years old and we're still getting it all sorted out. The inside is finally finished and now we're putting the finishing touches to the outside.....then it's mortgage mortgage mortgage for the next 20 odd years woohoo.
Bought my house 5 years ago, an old, renovated one. Hey! That's only 15 years of mortgage payments left! YAY!! From what I could make out in the background of your pics (well, the eye wanders sometimes LOL), you two have a very lovely home, good taste!!
