Final Pics





Some final views of the project. Still no paint (it was raining almost every day) or final landscaping. That's to come some day though!



Ramada

Here are more pictures of Dad and I finishing off the ramada.






Ramada construction

Here's some pics of the installation of the first post, the flagstone path with the posts and beams alongside, the first posts and beams up from the corner of the lot, me using the hammer drill to place the straps in the existing concrete pad for some posts, and a close-up of the wall caps for the outside beams.

Here's some pics of the flagstone path and the completion of the ramada. I don't know the days they happened anymore but hopefully they are vaguely in order. (Or reverse order as the case may be.)

After dry stacking the CMUs we coated the wall in SBC.





Day 1 of Patio Building

First we set a course of CMU in the SBC (that's Surface Bonding Cement to y'all) and then dry stacked the rest of the bricks.
