Autumn Palace

Anthony has affectionately named the patio: Autumn Palace

So we decided we had to finally update the flooring in the patio. When removed the carpeting, we found the most disgusting glue so the idea of scraping and staining the concrete was out. We went to Lowe's and found some wood looking vinyl at $32 for 12 x 12 so we bought two of those and headed for home.

After trying in the parking lot unsuccessfully to stuff the 12 x 12s into Anthony's car for a good 15 minutes, a good Samaritan pulled up and offered to help. We stuffed them in his car and got them to the house. And then the math work started... how to get a 12 x 12 pattern into 15 x 16 foot patio.

What do you think? Did my years of math pay off?

Ta da!

Sorry the windows are blacked out. It was late when we finished this project but we wanted to do it from start to finish. Not bad for neither of us having ANY experience in flooring or DIY home stuff. :) What do you think?
