Blog 31Outside Covered Patio

This view of the covered patio is if you walked around the garage and down the steps to access the covered patio. Fur beams were used for the main supports. See the pool in the back ground? There will be a curved wall at the end of the pool blocking the house you can see in the trees.

They used yellow pine boards stained a light brown for the cross boards. The boards are stained before they are put up. This is so there will not be a yellow pine colored  line showing when they shrink a year from now. This view is looking towards the road.

I am not loving the yellowish color. The fur beams will be stained, so I can pick another color that will darken the pine but not be too dark on the fur beams.

We finally picked out a stone. The floor of the patio and around the pool will be Pennsylvinia blue stone.  The 2 slabs below show  the color variations of the stone. The stone is in front of the grey color we will paint the house. That piece of fur (from the covered patio), below the tiles,  has several stain samples on it. We are also looking at trimming the house in a light grey ( see the far right board) or doing all it all dark.  

This is looking at the back of the house. This is the master bedroom. It is painted grey and we decided not trim it out. We are using the light grey color on the top eve and for the soffits only. The brick on the bottom will be painted.

Lower retaining wall coming up.
