Work has stared on our new back patio. Before the rains hit we got the post in and gravel down. Cement and roof will be coming but may be next spring before we get much more work done out here. Here are a few pictures of what is going on.

Next came the cement trucks and boom to get it over the building as the ground in the back of the church was still to wet to drive on.
