That Marion is one smart Cookie and such a sweetheart. I have been a widow for 20 years now and I need Marion at my house for some projects. Could you send him over? Lol So glad you have this beautiful space to enjoy, Arika. You work so hard, you deserve it. Bless your sweet family. I am glad to see Marion teaching Jaxon some skills. He looks like a good helper.

Marion is very talented. Jaxon is a wonderful teenager to be out there right alongside his dad working. He is learning so much that way! Your vision turned out to be wonderful. This looks amazing and adds so, so much to the livability/entertaining factor that your home has. You guys have reason to be proud of yourselves. My favorite projects are when things are done on a budget, and you all did an outstanding job. I just love your channel and your family. It seems like you were created to be in front of the camera, Arika.

[@DorsettDoorstep]

Oh wow, thank you so much! Your support means more than you know!❤️🥰

Awesome transformation. Fun act we live in southwest Virginia our dirt is brown we have no red dirt. Have a great weekend and enjoy your patio for years to come.

[@DorsettDoorstep]

So funny!! When I moved to VA 29 years ago I was so shocked that the dirt was orange! Must not be the whole state, but all the dirt around us is orange! I’m miss the brown TX dirt!😂

[@normaalvarez3074]

[@patriciahagedorn5694]

The patio is absolutely beautiful. You guys did such a great job. Maybe Marion can make some wooden planter boxes for the back patio and some for the front screened in patio with some of those short pieces of deck wood. Love the one you have with the ferns. It adds such a nice touch. Can't wait to see the picnic table Marion is building.

[@DorsettDoorstep]

We actually talked about doing that for the back window. Stay tuned!😀👏🏻

[@456Pegasus1]

What a difference you made great idea!! The concrete work surely is a larger investment but what a difference it made to your project!! Çongrats!!

Awesome project, everything looks great!

[@dwynn57]

You guys did do an amazing job of transforming your space! It looks so inviting! I would recommend putting thompsons water seal on the wood, if you decide that you like the look like it is. it will still weather, but it does protect it. We put it on our front deck and back porch and I put it on a wood swing that we have! you just roll it on! thanks so much for sharing. xoxo

[@kellieroth1710]

It's just beautiful!!! You three did an amazing job!!! Teamwork makes the dream work!!! 😮😮🎉🎉🎉❤❤
