Tore out my old patio and put in flagstone over a weekend - the difference is night and day

Finally got tired of looking at that cracked concrete slab in my backyard. It had been there since I bought the house 8 years ago and the weeds were taking over. Last Saturday morning I rented a jackhammer from Home Depot for $60 and had the whole thing broken up by noon. Hauled the chunks to the dump for $35. Sunday morning I laid down 2 tons of flagstone from a place in town. The whole thing cost me about $400 total. Looks like a completely different yard now. Has anyone else here ripped out concrete and put in stone instead? How long did yours hold up over the winters?

Ha! That's dedication. Rent a jackhammer for fun on a Saturday, that's a whole new level of weekend warrior.
