My husband, Ray, was attempting to build a patio for the first time. He bought 100 cement blocks and placed an order for the patio furniture he thought he’d need; but first he needed to get started on the floor. Laying the cement blocks out in a pattern, he discovered the chosen area was too small.
He stacked the blocks against the house and cleared more space. The next day Ray put the cement blocks back down, only to find that the ground was too hard to keep the patio level.
He ordered a truckload of sand to be delivered the following morning. Again he stacked the 100 blocks against the house.
Observing all this, our ‘nosey’ next-door neighbor asked, “Hey! Ray, are you going to put that patio away ‘EVERY’
night?”
