Patio Addition

Recently,  Gerry has  been working on a patio addition to our back yard.   It is almost finished, though not completely, as you can see from the one board that is not yet attached.

This has been a huge project, actually, involving a lot of digging, leveling, building the frame underneath.   Putting on the top pieces has been the easy part.  There is still a lot of screwing yet to be done.

But already,  we are especially enjoying the morning coffee routine on the deck.
It does not really work in the afternoon,  as the sun is much too intense and hot, though when cooler weather comes, that will probably not be an issue at all.

I used to enjoy sitting in the sun room to drink my coffee.    Because we had the sun room, there wasn't any reason to sit outside.  But now that I am sitting outside,  I do enjoy the cool morning air,  the cool evening air, and the closeness to nature.

It is like having a whole new room in our house.   Only, this one is outside, which proves to be a very lovely addition.
