It's starting to take shape... The brick patio is in place, and the framework for the cover is there. This weekend we'll add some polycarbonate panels to the roof and set up the ceramic kiln area.
We had so much fun with laying the bricks that we're already starting to plan the big patio and new back porch.
We did the whole process here...
For the patio, we excavated the area, layed and compacted four inches of gravel, screeded sand to 1" thick, layed the bricks, and compacted them again with joint sand.
The patio cover is set on 12" footings and built to code with 5/8" bolts. I'm pretty sure the posts will withstand an earthquake. Everything else...?
Cynthia bought me two Bird of Paradise to keep me inspired. I'm excited to see some plant life taking root in our tropical/mediteranian back yard.
