Patio

Those of you that have been to our house have seen what we have affectionately called our "smoke stacks." Behind our house we have a cement patio slab that had four poles coming out of it that were meant for a patio cover. Well they have been there a while because other more important things have been on our list of things to do. The day has finally come and we have a patio cover! The American Awning guys got here at 11 a.m. and left by 2 p.m. and we officially have shade in our backyard. This cover has been long awaited for mutliple reasons. When it rains, water would come seeping in under our back door and was starting to cause some rotting. Our poor puppies would have to howl and howl to wake us up so we could let them in the shed when it was raining. During summer it will be a lot cooler for us outside and the dogs with some shade since our trees are not very large yet. So this is a big thank you to our wonderful landlords (the farm) for making this happen. We promise to enjoy it all the time.

They are just so cute I couldn't resist.


More pictures to come when we get the poles and cross beam painted.
