    we knocked down the old wall and saved the rubble for the new patio

    all the trellis was taken down and any plants not wanted was taken out

    the walls were painted Magnolia and the base of the patio was laid

    Hi Bugs ,A fantastic place you have
    made .It is great .Looks nice and peaceful.
    I guess I'm blind Bugs I can't find the pesky one.
    If I tackled a job like that I would never get it finished.

    Ah man I can't see that gnome at all! I guess they perfected that new stealth technology they were working on. Any more clues Bugs?
