Covered Patio Project

[Latimeria]

While the cement is still wet, instead of a hand print let's see a shark tooth or a fish skeleton, that would be cool

That gives me a great idea!  I'm not sure when they are pouring or if I'll be around, but I'll see what I can do.

Patio gets poured today!  Supposed to be all done by Tuesday Evening! 
Just in time!  hahaha

Some prep the night before and the rebar in the morning.





I wanted a BBQ pad attached that wasn't covered so I didn't ruin all that nice white paint with my grilling.
The truck showed up while I was watching my granddaughter and she was wondering what the hell was goin on!







Looks awesome!  5+ inches thick of slab!



BBQ Extended pad.  I was hoping he could do it pretty much last minute and thankfully got it done!



Should be all wrapped up on Tuesday with the roof and electrical.  I can't wait!

Did you get to embed any prehistoric fossils into the fresh mud ?

I thought about it, but decided to leave the slab a virgin.

Wont be surprised if Squatch left a footprint overnight.

Glad to hear it. Nice clean slab is my preference.

A trail of raccoon prints would be cool.

Started getting it all filled in...  The wife and I are battling over "how much of what" will be out there like taxidermy.  lol



Coming along quite nicely even though the gutters weren't installed correctly.





Dart board is finally getting some use!



Lots of stuff coming in the next few weeks, but it's a start.

Just in time for Turkey Day. Looks great from my house.

That's exactly what we are trying to get it all done for.  Still waiting on some deliveries so it'll be cutting it tight to get everything in and assembled.

Looks great, the Holidays with outdoor entertaining will be a nice time 

[Latimeria]

Still coming along.  Trying to get so much done before I possibly get my shoulder surgery.

New 225W outdoor speakers in case I want to piss off the neighbors.



The wife needed a Happy Corner with no fish in it.  I said it wasn't going to happen... so I put something up with fish on it she really couldn't say no to.  hahaha



Bar stools came missing parts and just finally got the rest of the other things to make sure it's ready for Thanksgiving.  We only have a couple of family coming over, but we're going to have a nice outside entertaining area. (Notice the SNBF trophy behind the bar?  My wife and I are battling over that staying for some reason... She wants a Buddha head there!  NOT going to happen)



Of course, I wanted a bug zapper so i could give a fist pump every time it electrocutes an unsuspecting bug.



The only way we could get the vampire daughter out of her room all day was to get a chair that she fell in love with.



I'm working on the patio for the rest of the afternoon and should have a great picture for the early evening shot as I'm cooking up some Rib Eye, Shrimp and scallops on the grill!  Unfortunately, our patio rolling kitchen cart's not here, but no worries.  This is Christmas for my wife and I so we'll just be watching our kids/grandkid open presents.  I have a feeling this is also part of my birthday gift also.  hahahaha

I'll post some more complete pictures later when i get it all squared away.
