Popular Post spirithorse Posted October 1, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Here is a photo of an out-door awning project that my wife and I completed recently. Mind you, I am 64 years old and my wife is slightly younger and we finished this in 7 days. It is approximately 14' wide by 22' long. Handling those 14' 2' x 6' x 14' rafters was a bit of a work-out but, we managed well for a couple of novices. I don't know who the old geezer is having a smoke on our newly completed deck but, I suppose that just shows that it serves its purpose to have a comfortable place to sit out-side and still be sheltered. It has a standing ridge metal roof which extends beneath the gutters on the sun room on the right side and the gutters on the house in the back. The front side extends about 19 inches over the posts and the left edge extends about 24" beyond the posts. Thanks for looking and God Bless!

OzarkSawdust Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Really nice looking! I like the lighting. We are thinking of something like that...but put the project off till next summer. We'll want to screen it for sure. I saw the mosquitos carry off the neighbor's cat the other night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockytime Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Very nice! Similar to ours which we seldom use. It faces west. Beautiful but too hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirithorse Posted October 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hi, Ozark, Not a HAM tower, just an old fashioned TV Antennae tower. God Bless! Spirithorse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Nothing quite like a veranda or patio, to sit on, with a cold beer and contemplate world affairs or maybe just your next job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
