Sounds like lots of work but everything looks wonderful, so, totally worth the effort!
Thanks, Leah. Yes it is. We spend a lot of time on the deck.
That looks wonderful. You really have a beautiful place there.
Thanks, Holly. It’s our piece of paradise.
That it is!
Beautiful roses and a crisp new canopy: doesn’t get much better than that.You have a very comfortable and peaceful place Timothy.
True. Thanks, Maj & Sher.
The canopy looks nice, very strong. I hope it will last a good while, Timothy. Your property is so lush and green, wow!
Hi John. With the intense sun we only get a year or two out of the covers. We have a lot of desert green.
That’s very cool. Nice to have.a handybl man in the house. I sure miss mine.
Beautiful roses, too!
Hi Dale. I try to be a retired handyman, but Laurie says handymen don’t retire. Hmmm.
Laurie is right. 😉
Aches, twangs and possibly bruises for you, Sir!
And my congratulations a great job done!
Thanks, Inchcock. Fortunately, no bruises, but I did get a cut which was a bit of a bloody mess. Aches and pains all over.
Tsk! You were too keen, I bet mate. Did a grand job though. I’ve got some bandages and plaster I can send you? Hehehe!
I assume your feline supervisors kept an eye on the flow of your work. “That’s long enough on break, Price.” Does your grill have a place under the cover? 🙂
Hi David. When I cut out the trumpet vine and the cuttings were blocking the steps and door, the kitties were quite confused. At one point Marble was on the roof while I was on the ladder, and she a very surprised to see me at roof level. They were much better after I got all the cutings cleared out and the deck swept. The grill is where it is all the time. It’s well-weathered, and rebuild many times over. I can’t find a grill that size now, so I just keep rebuilding it. It’s almost 20 years old.
Incredible job, Tim. You are an expert at building things. It looks nice and solid. 📚🎶 Christine
Thanks, Christine. Just recovering this one.
Lovely roses 🙂
Thanks, Harry.
Sempre foto stupende!
Grazie, Simona.
Glad you got everything fixed. It’s looking very beautiful and a very nice place to hang around and relax.
Thanks, Herman.
Beautiful! What a wonderful place to enjoy the outdoors!
Thanks, Robin.
Love your roses Tim, and that canopy beautiful shade and added extension. Have a relaxing Sunday after your hard work of restoration 🙏🙂
Thanks, Sue.
You did it and it looks fabulous.
Thanks, Shehanne.
You will surely get the weather to enjoy it too.
It’s used mostly to filter the sun. We don’t get much rain.
Yeah you will need sun cover. Not like here where it is rain cover we need.
The cover would last a lot longer where you are. Our sun eats covers.
Oh the damp and the howling gales do for lots of stuff here mind you. Our last house was nearer the river.. We routinely fetched our patio chairs from various gardens…
In that last windstorm that took out our canopy, someone got a video of a porta-potty scooting along in the wind on Central Ave.
Ha ha. Brill. I only wish we’d got one of our chairs. I used to imagine someone sitting in them flying through the air.
That would be exciting.
Mary Poppins’ chairs…..
Hahaha.
I just see her, sat there with her fancy hat and brolly, going a spoonful of sugar.. as she zings towards the North Sea on a plastic patio chair…
I can see that. The North Sea, Scotland and Ireland are coming up on my Welsh lessons, but nothing about Mary Poppins so far.
Lol… You should complain.
That looks like quite the project, good work, now relax and enjoy that beautiful garden!
Thanks, Tiffany.
PARADISE!!!!!
Yep. Thanks, Resa.
Well done. Looks great!
Thanks, Couriers.
That looks awesome! Roses are my favorite! And I love the little house!
Thanks, Cherie.
