So I mixed an ***load of concrete yesterday. I finally got to broom it at 10 pm and that was still to soon. I also learned why the cheap brand is the cheap brand. It sucks. I will get some more pictures when I go out and strip the forms. So I think today I will float the rest of my counters for slate.

Finally got back to it.

Here is what i did today. I didn't like the concrete color on the patio but I am to cheap to tear it out or tile it or float it so I just cut grooves in to make it look like tile with a little pattern. I have alot more to do but I am working in sections and I still have to clear coat this one but I am using Acid stain so it is taking some time.

Tossed in some fencing to keep the dogs out of the planter.

It is still a work in rogress, there is nothing on the inside of the BBQ area yet and just a bunch of stuff not done.
 
Wow! Really nice, but what's the green leafy substance on the ground?
 
We call that a litter box for dogs and a waste of money in the summer time.
 
Chris a real nice project and great use of those logs. Are you changing out that patio cover? The stone on the bar front with the lights is cool. I have a buddy here in the south who needs one of these bars for his bbq smoker grill.

:cool:
 
I have since changed out that patio cover but don't have many pics of it, hopefully I can get some this weekend. Everything matches now, I am digging it.

Thanks Chris, My wife wants one of those pergolas and I have put it on the "to do" list.
 
I am trying to find a way to enclose mine in the winter time without having to store huge walls all summer.
 
Get some clear plastic side curtains made, the kind like they use on boat tops. Then all you ahve to do is roll them up for storage.
 
I was thinking canvass panels that can roll up and then a few windows that are framed like shutters that slide over each other,
