So Ive been building a patio on the back of my house.Theres no shade outside, so it had to be covered, and the mosquitoes are terrible, so it had to be screened. Ill post the finished pics first, then the in progress ones after:

The entry side. You can see the bamboo screen on the inside to keep the afternoon sun out.

From the other side.

Looking in from the doorway. Theres 2 ceiling fans inside for maximum airflow.

Looking back at the door.

Standing in the middle looking out at the banana trees. Notice the hammock, it stretches across and is perfect for afternoon naps.

Chairs & cooler in place (I didnt build the furniture, btw)

Screens installed. From here it was all inside work.

Ill answer any questions I can. In the mean time Ima go swing in the hammock.
 
Thats pretty badass. I'm sure the cats are loving it. Steve just came in while I was waking up to tell me to let him out the back.

Prepare to spend a lot of time out there. I would!
 
It's not a patio!! It's a fucking lanai!!!!

Awesome job, though. Very nicely done. And only $2K? that is definitely one of those "grabyour attention" pieces you can market very well with. Great choice in furniture, too.
 
Maybe you should stop by FG's place and help him out. He might actually finish a project then :fly:

I built it so I can all it whatever the hell I want.

Thanks.
Im sure it added 10-15k to the value of the house, if we ever try to sell.
