Patio's progress.

My dad and I spent the day cutting four 18" x 18" squares into the existing patio. We chipped and smashed out the cement so that we can pour foundations for the new cover next weekend — which means I will spend the week digging holes in which to set the cement (always a pleasure in the rock-clay soil of San Diego). Eventually all of the cement that surrounds the pool will be removed and replaced, but that's a task for another time and another budget.

So far the project's been smooth success. I had no idea you could just saw through slabs of cement. But I guess a wet-saw with a diamond-tipped blade will do that for you.
