Better late than never!
Well, a few months ago I built a brick patio next to our deck, I meant to show y'all some pictures right away, but the bike and the baby took precedence. Now, here at last, are the pictures!
I had Brenda ask one of the construction workers how to build the steps, in return, he gave us all the materials we needed and instructions on how to build them. He also loaned me the template for cutting out the step supports and a jigsaw to cut the wood with. We are very thankful for this! Overall I think it turned out very well. I installed an extra can (recessed) light on the far end of the porch and it sheds quite a bit of light on our new patio area. The fan was prewired when the house was built, so I just had to hang it! We really like to be able to sit out on our porch and hang out. I picked up the used swing built by my grandfather at the parsonage and Brenda sanded it and cleaned it up, now it fits in nicely!
Lastly, in case you missed the plug on Brenda's blog's comments, I have created a gallery on my website where I will be uploading pictures of Emily and other things periodically. It should allow you to leave comments about individual pictures, view the pictures in a slide show or one at a time, and even order prints on Shutterfly if you desire.

That's a cool little patio. I imagine Rick will like it, also, because it does have "clean lines." And getting the wood, instructions, template and tools helps.
I do recognize the styling of a DEW designed swing. Always a classic. Still, it'd be a little uncomfortable sitting outside much here right now.
Thanks for all the pictures! Congrats on the fancy porch. You have a cute kid!
Okay, I am commenting as anonymous because the dumb thing won't let me sign in. I'll let you figure out who I am. :)
Now you just need to buy propane so that we can use the BBQ and enjoy your handy work. I think it wil be awesome in the fall when it is not 500 degrees outside
That's really cute! I wish we were coming over for a cook-out.
Em's pics are awesome, but I can't figure out how to leave comments. Any tips?
Man I can see you right up there with Tim the Tool man pretty soon. Good job on the HOME IMPROVEMENT!!!
Nice porch, I'm impressed with your constructional capabilities. Thats Lauri and my's swing that you took, you know. You should've asked first but you didn't know. I'll let it slide... or swing, which ever. Good work though.
sweet deck! i will have to check out the bike soon! i am a little jealous of your mpg.
does your wife like to fish? or do you just want to get rid of her for a day? either way i'd help you out
