Patio Reno......

[BruceS]

Well I've been a bit preoccupied the last few weeks due to doing some renovations to the patio area at the back of our home.
It was originally constructed by the previous owner about 20 years ago & was a shocking job. Treated pine posts with wood rails & galvanised roofing iron nailed on which they some time later added some wooden trellis above with green shadecloth tacked over. They then used 20 X 40mm pine to attach it to the verandah roof & one again cover with shade cloth that the rain came through. The moisture that came through caused the pavers inside to have green mould/fungus growing on them.
Have a guess how many times in the last 18 years I've been asked to "fix it"??? Now double it!!!

After a big demolishing derby I concreted in Galv fenceposts 1200 apart & connected them to the facia with the galv fence rail.

Colorbond bottoms & plastic trellis tops (1200 X 2400 sheets).
Alsynite roofing above.

Couple of gates & some pavers will finish it off.

Bruce I suppose you know what you have done now, I suggest you keep out of Dots Pilot's way for some time now.

Yep.......... Now we can use all the freedom parking areas while George bangs the nails in & Dot holds them.........
Not sure if you know or not Russell but Dot won't let George even sit in the pilot's seat!!!

I let him take the seats out today ready for the nice man to lay the flooring does that count?
