Patio woes
I posted a reply yesterday, but it somehow got lost. I've been having some large companies look at my situation to offer a solution.
First, thank you all who have taken the time to respond. You've restored my faith in people.
To answer your very thoughtful questions, the contractor is unwilling to do anything more for me and feels it's the fault of the stones being different thicknesses.
As far as a dropoff from the house to the patio, it's 12 3/8 inches. And from the patio to the grade is an inch. I loved the idea of a patio on top of a patio and talked to some folks who said it would crack underneath and cause problems. I don't understand why.
Right now we're looking at spending $11,800 to put a roof over the whole thing, to keep the rain water and snow off. It would also be possible to enclose the patio and create a room in the future.
It's more than I wanted to spend, but it's a viable option. Your comments are appreciated.
