Patio Update


Well since its supposed to get hot today, the wife and I decided to get a jump on painting all the addition to the patio I did earlier.
We started at 10 am, was a nice 70 degrees, at 4 pm it was 96 under the canopy, but herees what it looks like now. I think its pool time

I can't wait to head down that way and check it out. Looks great!!! In a few we gotta get Robert up and get together. I need to find a date that is more of a road tripper than a head tripper though to spend 12 hours in the car with. Man after it hit 40 below this winter a dry 85 here seems HOT.

We can all sit out and drink Bud Light with lemon.

Perry, Roberts pool is a bit bigger than mine and in ground, his kids were swimming when I went and got the 29(still chippin ice here)

OK got the clear vinyl windbreak and lattice back up on the pation, and the makeshift sun deck fastened together and "waterproofed"
The last pick is the old redimade gazebo corners that will be utilized on the new sunning deck

No worries brotha. Hope that e-harmony thing works out for your daughter. I thought about doing that.

Did you get your project finished?
