Well for the past 38 years we have lived on the same old house with a back porch that has weathered a century . And my wife wants it renovated . Forward , 3 weekends and a few Chiropractor visits we are almost there . Keep in mind , I was satified leaving it alone . But my wife and Lowe's wanted something to be done about it .

Looks much better then plain concrete . I hope you used green treated wood and a water barrier.

Will water barrier this pressure treated wood when I let it dry a bit . It was soaked pretty good and heavy with water when I got it . I'm going to walk away from it and rest for a few weeks .
Pretty much done .

Looks great. But,
It ain't gonna end there. I see a screened in area or...one of the atriums with the curved glass panels, maybe a fireplace or a wood buring stove...Oh yeah! I'll send your wife an email and suggest it.

That's pretty nice looking, if I don't say so myself. You know what would be a nice touch is some wrought iron furniture for that instead of the 'ole Walmart plastic.

Will need a sound system too for the fish and plants to thrive . Some classical beethoven Asian tunes for the colorful carp fish!

'Yank knows what's up. You do some mowing, weeding, & planting, then if you want to pick up a new drill or new torch - wife asks fewer questions. Especially if they were her bulbs you planted & weeded.
