Oh...too funny! My pic was not the best. Just trying to show how high the roof was.....but it really didn't show up at top of pic. Our gutter guy finished about 7:30. His son helped too. I now have gutters galore .
The house patio is Saltillo tile with Talavera insets. Husband laid it a few yrs ago. The big rock patio is river rock slab. ( According to SIL, it isn't available anymore). My husband ordered 7 tons of the rock and a truck load of sand when we bought the house in 1979. Then the military sent him away....and I laid that entire patio by myself. We only planned to be here 2 yrs, so it didn't have to be permanent. I had a great time learning to mix concrete from a book! There were nights when I dragged the TV onto the patio, so daughter could watch Little House on the Prairie, etc. while I laid stone under a flood light. Turned out we moved to Hawaii a couple of yrs later, then got to come back to our house we had rented out while we were gone., and are still here. I love that old patio for a lot of reasons. One of our oaks is trying to push up thru a few spots. Not sure if there's a way to remedy that without killing the roots.
