I see – I was thinking about all those snowy photos you had last year. I bought a snow rake last Winter for my side door awning. We had high winds that loosened it from the wall, so my handyman had to re-cement it and advised me to get a snow rake. I was sweeping off the snow but couldn’t reach all of it.
Thank you, Tina! We’re super excited! Hiring a contractor to do the patio cover quickly helped us get the deck addition built in time for the summer.

Terri, you remind me of my brother. He just keeps adding things to the homestead. First, it was a barn, then a barn condo, then an additional room on the barn condo, an RV cover, and now a chicken coop. Oops, I forgot the incredible firepit he and his boys constructed. Be careful, one thing leads to another. I do love your deck. That is a solid addition and a ‘chill’ space that you will use often. Great WiP photos.
Lol, thank you, Suzanne! When you have a raw property it’s amazing what ideas come up to create. Hubby is working on laying the gravel down for our big driveway now. Winter comes fast and hard here. He is soon adding a wood burning stove into the shop to keep it warm for all the indoor projects he wants to do. Thank goodness I married a talented builder. Your brother’s homestead sounds awesome! We only have 3/4 acres to work with which us surprisingly big 😁
That’s cool, Suzanne!

Thank you, Colleen! It turned out so well. Patio covers are surprisingly pricey as we discovered. But a good investment into the home.

Terri, it’s fun to see the WIP. I like the different colors mixed in there. I really love the long cover. That gives you so much space. It extends the use of the patio for many months – stay out of the rain and extreme sun. It’s perfect. Then the gazabo is another cool area. They did a great job. Such talent!
Thank you, Marsha! We are thrilled with how everything turned out. We had a lot of black stained wood that Hans got from a neighbor’s deck and we integrated it into the deck (my idea), LOL! It’s amazing how much cooler it is under the patio cover. Having that constructed by a paid contractor was well worth it!
