That was some time ago and it's started looking bad again. After some discussion the gals decided to take the paint off right down to the bare concrete. So Judy has worked on it for 7 or 8 hours with a power washer. The paint comes off . . . mostly. But the stain is another matter. So here's the current result.
Now most people would probably say (as I did), "Man, that looks terrible." But then it started to grow on me. I think it kind of looks like a patio in one of those old homes in Italy or Mexico.
SWMBO, being of an artistic nature, said she was thinking about getting some blue and green pigments and doing a sort of abstract earth-as-scene-from-outer-space patch job on it. I think that's a pretty good idea but nothing has been decided yet.
What do you think?
(By the way, you will notice that this has been from the start and continues to be the gals' project. I have studiously avoided getting anywhere near any manual labor on it. But I'm always eager to give my opinion on their work.)
