Work in progress

MasterC

Our patio area was really tight 108sqf. Room for the island, patio set and nothing else. 
We replaced it with a 352sqf. 

We're planning to extend the roof over when material cost are more realistic. Time being we opted for cantilevered umbrellas,one 12x12 and one 9x12. The 9x12 will cover the cookers

We have a corner lot so I added a small privacy fence to hide my collection of stuff I now have room for.

I hope to get the inground umbrella stand cemented in before my next battle then will continue next year.



Meanwhile it's an awesome spot

Very nice!

That is a heckofa spot for sure.  I envision many adult beverages being consumed there while meat gently smokes away.

Sweet!

Way to plan it out and then incrementally execute.  Great setting.

Thank you.
This is my vision for phase 2 when lumber prices readjust to reality.
Excuse my finger drawing

The 4x8 extended area is the foot print for future wood fired pit and oven.

Looks great, big improvement.  I need to get rid of the mud pit in the back of my house by putting bricks or something in. 

Were window prices high when they built your house?

MasterC

Not to bad. I had seven replaced around 4300. Had the outside freshened up

Nice updates to the casa!!!!!!

MasterC

It's been awhile but now we're ready to go forward with covering the patio. Will follow the existing roof line and extend the gable to tie into the house. Signed a contractor to build and my nephew, a licensed electrician to wire it all up, and are pumped



Mrs.C said the space station will be able to see it with all the led lights I bought.

Can't wait to see the finished product

Cool! I wish I had that THICK carpet of sod! But I'm in that camp who traded sunshine for my very DENSE shade! Can't have both, no matter what some lawn services say they can deliver with $$$ of fertilizer!

Are you planning on joining the roofs on the right side of the patio roof, which will create a valley? Or are you leaving a gap there, or finishing above that gutter (or below the other roof) for drainage of rain and snow?

MasterC

The roof s will meet. Their constructing a sloped roof section joining them and drainage. Forgot the technical name.

Ah okay, so they will create a small pitch overtop to take out that dead valley.  Good idea. 

MasterC

Here we go.

Looking more like a roof

Nice!!

Can’t wait to see the inaugural cook!

Coming together 

FrostyEgg

Following! I love watching projects like this come together.

MasterC

It looks like it exploded in my back yard

But they're making great progress 

MasterC

End of day one
Framing complete

Looks like it’s coming along swimmingly! That's going to be a great eggdom.

Mark_B_Good

Looking good. How does it look on that valley created on the right side, where it intersects your existing roof?

Hook_emHornsfan_74

If I was having that done here, that would be what it would look like after a month of work.  I would probably have a better chance of finding bigfoot than a dependable contractor.  

MasterC

 I haven't been able to get a good vantage point for a picture of the right, to much stuff cluttering the way. But what I've seen looks good. Eventually I'll get a picture

thats going to make a huge difference for enjoying the backyard. really coming together

Love it. Definitely can't let my wife see it, for obvious reason, lol
If you don't mind me wondering, may be it's the camera angle/perspective or my glasses, the two posts look small relative to the structure. Also, can't tell if they are resting on concrete footing or buried into the soil.

The post are 6x6 and sit on footers 40in deep and set in cement. In the early stage of construction the framing was supported by smaller braces 
Picture of the footer and post in place before pouring cement 

My nephew has finished the wiring and is now waiting for inspection. After they say ok we'll get the framing inspector out and with their blessing we carry on.  

Mark b good  I'm just to dang short to get a picture. The best I can do for now.

Sorry for  the late update, had to get a blood refill
