The fire pit is going to be built Monday. It will be propane and there’s a line that goes behind the wall where the tank will be.

The yard was stamped concrete and turf.

As you can see I am putting in paver stones.

I’m also doing a built in BBQ against the wall and a Pergola with a Big Ass fan (that’s a brand name) down near the Fire pit area.

The patio furniture is arriving Wednesday.

I have a small backyard and the renovation will at least make it a really nice area to hang out.

The Pergola and BBQ are both behind in production. It looks like it’s going to be a while before the project gets completely done.

Here’s the other side of the yard. As you can see I don’t have a lot of space. We are packed in here…

Nice job and excellent use of available space.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Looks good. So no lawn to mow and minimal watering? I could definitely live with that. Close by neighbors, not so much.

I'm going to put in some raised flower, garden planters around. I'm a cactus guy and I have quite a few on the front porch that I will bring to the back.

I think in the end we will be happy with the space...

No watering, just hose down and power wash every now and then.

My back hurts just looking at all the work you have completed. That looks awesome and is perfect for your area. Too bad the homes are so close but that’s understandable in your area. I’m going to be sure that my wife doesn’t see these pictures as she is already thinking she wants to extend our patio and mentioned maybe I could put pavers in…….ugh!

Nice job Coach and I’m sure many a cold one will be enjoyed on that bench in front of the fire pit. :D
