Back Porch

The back of our house is an add-on and the porch that was added was awful! The aluminum roof was barely holding & slanted so badly, dh had to duck to get under it. Instead of a concrete slab, it had these concrete tiles with no grout, just sitting on top of the dirt. It was small and just about useless. The wild thing is that the add on was added in the late 60's. It's been like this for 40 years!

But not anymore. . .

We had to move it to the right side of the back door because of a tree, but I told Chris, make it as big as we can afford it. It's awesome. The kids finally have something to do outside, a big slab to ride their bikes, scooters, cars, ahhhh.  It's so nice!! I feel like I'm at a resort cabin in the woods, sitting outside, taking in the view (granted, my view is 3 little boys at play, but I've got a big imagination). Chris still has to drywall the underside and add . . .get this. . .a ceiling fan/light (so excited). Don't you just want to come over and have a cup of coffee with me on my new back porch? (To a certain sister who is about to move into a brand new house with a view of the actual mountains, don't answer that question.)
