Now that we have our new (wonderful) French doors, we are going to build a patio to match.
We asked Carla and Mike to come over and offer some suggestions. Mike is excellent at the drawing part.
We set up the (new) chairs to show the size. We are a bit relegated by the size of the building materials.
Since we have a lot of stuff (electric, water, dryer vent) on the outer walls of the house, we decided to make a bridge of sorts to get to the patio. It would only be about 2 feet long but would allow everything to stay as is.
The master builder is giving the specs a once-over.
The finished size is going to be approximately 16' x 24'. I'm hoping this will be big enough. We do have an acre after all. Everyone assures me it will be.
More thinking....
More measuring...
Levi is now awake and can offer his suggestions.
Awwww.....
What do you think, Levi?
He acts like he truly doesn't care....hmmm...
Super cute picture of Levi...
Hanging with the guys.
There is bound to be much much much more thinking done by the Helmut on this project - I can guarantee that ;) I still really like the benches idea vs. the railing - Brian said he likes it as well :) Artists know best, ya know ;)
ReplyDeleteI love that idea also. It would give extra seating and I could add pots of flowers easily. We're looking into it as I write...
ReplyDeleteCamera shy much?
ReplyDeleteIf you are referring to Levi, the answer is a resounding, No! I don't think it's by choice, though. We just stick the camera in his face whenever we can....poor baby!
