About 15 years ago, this family built an arbor and brick patio in their backyard. Then, just a few years later, the place got trashed by a tornado and has been covered in junk and brush ever since. About 12 years after the tornado struck, they finally decided to do something and give a new lease of life to the patio area. While it’s an awfully long amount of time to procrastinate for, we do think it was ultimately worth the wait. Check it out!
