    Backyard finally finished!

    So I finally finished my backyard late, late summer. It's been just dirt for the last two years. I then spent the last few months adding things to make it a good living space.

    Black Friday had some good deals on some aluminum pergolas. They have cool slats that open and close in each section and the frames have built in drains that direct rainwater away. There are mosquito nets that zip together in case the weather gets really warm. There are also privacy shades that can be zipped together as well for each section. They are 10 x 20 each. You can see at this time I was slowly building the outdoor funiture and my Weber Searwood is all alone.

    My wife got a little excited too and went on a spending frenzy buying furniture and installing lights.

    You can see she also bought the new Solo stove wood fire. I really like it. Now to just find a good wood supplier. There are several in the area. I just need to research prices, etc.

    My Searwood was lonely so I added the Weber Performer.

    I continue to experience MCS, so I recently added a Weber Smokey Mountain 18" that I got off Facebook marketplace for a steal - $75.

    I keep telling my wife that there is still plenty of room for a jacuzzi and an outdoor table/eating area. I think she's warming up to the idea. She mentioned the other day that she wants to put a second side by side fridge somewhere back here too. That way I can put in some extra meat and she can stock things she likes as well. I love her. We just celebrated our 25th anniversary last month. With this backyard, we can celebrate another 25 and more!

    Nice looking patio! I keep wanting to redo ours, but as we're getting older, I'm actually thinking it might be better to move and try to find a place with something closer to what we'd like.

    Yours looks like a great place to hang out with friends and neighbors!

          That is a huge back yard. Plenty of space for a hot tub, pool, golf course.😉
          Great job and really sharp look.

            Very nice.
            I can relate. We did a backyard reno a couple of years ago. I have 4 dogs and a yard of nothing but dirt and weeds for several years. We were changing the AC filter every month, and all of the furniture was covered with dirt. Then, there was the annual mud, and we had a sunken area that collected water, a lot of water, almost up to our back door.
            We poured a patio, but we haven't put a cover on it yet. I kinda wish the patio was a bit bigger. If it took up half of the yard, I would be good with that. 🙂
            Congratulations on 25 years, enjoy your new space.

                Outstanding. I see many nights out there in your future. And happy anniversary.

                  Dude! You’re happening now!

                  But what I see is room for more cookers! A flattop griddle for sure. Pizza oven? Regardless, what a great outdoor space. Nice work Pitmaster. 👍👏

                    I’m secretly saving up for a Karubecue (KBQ).

                  Very nice. Very well thought out. Like the mosquito netting and privacy curtains. Good call. And the plan on diverting water. I did some landscaping recently and put in dry sumps filled with rock in a few places to keep water from pooling. Works great.

                  Kudos

                    We did too. Our yard used to really flood and now it doesn’t.

                  The curtains will give you great versatility with the space!

                    Great looking backyard and patio. Curious who makes the aluminum pergolas you bought?

                      Muchant. It’s a louvered aluminum patio on sale from Walmart.
