I don't really have any close-ups, but you get the idea. The tile was cracked and chipped, and with each rain and/or windstorm, we would find new pieces chipped off.

And this is what we came home to yesterday:

I was under the impression that the entire patio would be checkerboard designed, but I like it this way better, to be honest. And I suppose there was a price difference in the tiles, so they wanted the larger quantity to be the cheaper ones.

It's actually nice enough that I want to sit outside more. Too bad we have crappy patio furniture. I would love to put an outdoor rug out there and a nice patio set with an umbrella. I bought all resin furniture when we first moved to Germany because we had tons of pigeons at the old house that crapped on everything. We still have that here, though.
