August 12 , 2006 - 'After'


Well, there isn't much else to say! Today officially marks the end of the project! It's been a great ride.
The project took 21 work days over three months to complete, at a total cost of about $1,600.

A picture of freebies. The furniture was moved from the deck to the patio. The patio blocks were
100% recycled from the old patio, and the foreground tree rang up incorrectly at the nursery...to my favor.

   
The fountain was a gift, and the firepit was 'purchased' with earned credit card points.

The final touches to finish the project: a surround for the spigot, a new dryer vent, and a new hose hanger.

What started with a firepit, ends with a firepit. A ceremonial fire to close the project. It was a lot of
work, but a great experience -- definitely the largest and most challenging project I've undertaken.

Thanks for sharing the journey with me, and stay tuned...
More projects are on their way.
