Yup. Truth be told, I think you need to be able to enjoy it to justify it. If you have thoughts of moving, then the justification would need to be: Cost of the patio will increase the value of the property by at least as much as the invoice. Were I in a neighborhood of $400-500k houses, I could drop $20k in a patio and probably get it back if I were to sell the house. In my $125-150k house, a $20k patio will not increase my property by $20k. The shear fact we plan on being here for the long haul was enough justification for me. BUT. . . I only have actual costs in this one. It "might" increase my value by 50-75% of my costs. A lot of this depends on location at times as well.

Glad I could make you laugh AND you are here to tell about it. What would that have been? Involuntary manslaughter?
Erin didn't really see the catalog. She was on pinterest. Showed me some ideas. I blended them with how I had it envisioned in my head.

Most of our jobs are within 30-45min of Lima or closer. I wouldn't be opposed to driving further. Might require some job scheduling a few months out. Would probably be determined by "how elaborate" the patio was going to be. More tempting to take on a project out of town if it is 4-5 days long versus 4-5wks long.
