New Patio

The other part of our project involves the back patio and replacing the tin cover over it. It has been there for some time and while it is O.K., we have a new plan that we think will be a huge improvement.

The first part of the job was to get rid of the palm tree next to the patio. When I first moved in almost nine years ago, the tree was a lot shorter and provided a lot of good shade. Now it has grown so tall that it gives us almost no shade and just makes a big mess in the yard and pool below. It has become a nuisance.

So we had it chopped down, leaving only a stump.

Next, I got on a ladder with a hammer and a screwdriver and dismantled the patio cover.

It was a lot of work but went quickly once I got rolling.

Now it's time to repair the roof joints, replace the facia and build the new patio cover.
