So they poured our patio yesterday. It poured rain the whole time and of course last night was the first frost of the year. So far, though, it looks as if everything's going to set up just fine. I was mostly worried about the rain, though, cause I had strict instructions not to let the guys leave without covering the patio first. But what happened was the guy came to the front door (yes, the hot pink one) and asked me for more money. He didn't really demand it or anything, just kind of nicely asked for an extra hundred and twenty dollars to help pay for the concrete. Apparently prices have gone up, but we had to pay for the concrete up front, straight through the dealer. So I called Dane and let him talk to the guy. I don't know exactly how that went but we didn't have to pay a cent more than we were quoted at originally, and the guy was nice to me but was pretty visibly pissed off when he went to give the news to the other guys. So, yeah, when they packed everything up including the plastic sheets to cover the patio in case of rain I felt too weird to go out and say anything. I was mostly just glad they finished working this time before they left.

I hate all this home-owner crap. >:(
