It took some thinking, and researching, but I finally came up with an idea. I sketched it out and showed it to Brian. As usual, he took my idea, and ran with it. He didn't get a plan or a kit....he just started building, and figuring it out as he went along. It took some time, and a lot of interruptions, but the finished product was better than I could have hoped for.

We're off to a good start! My boys in the background are so little! |
 |
Brian extended our deck around the corner and added the gazebo a few feet out from the house. |
 |
Corner posts are in place. |
 |
Hmmm...maybe I should just back away, and let him work. |
 |
Deep in thought, or just exhausted? |

Starting to close in the walls.

Danny and I helped out with the staining....notice how talented I am....I can still talk on the phone, even when I'm working! |
 |
8 gallons of stain later! The window screens are removable for cleaning and storing. The screen around the top is stapled in. |
 |
The door is on, and the soffit and fascia are up. |
 |
Later, we added two brick planters around the gazebo. |
 |
These steps lead down behind the gazebo to another patio. I loved this little corner! |

This is the front of the gazebo. |

Project completed! |
 |
And it was worth all the work to have this lovely place to sit! |
I was hard to leave that gazebo when we moved, but this time we made sure to include a back porch in our house plans. All that's left to do is add the screens, and I'll have that little retreat I wanted years ago!

Love it! Wish I had one!
Ya, it was nice! Hopefully next year we'll get our back deck screened in. I have a lot of staining to do first, but it's all framed and ready to screen.
Talented hubby building the gazebo. I would be missing it too.

A woman can be the best host for parties, so I fully rely on Mrs. K. Naidu for choosing the right tent colors according to the occasion, and she also helps in installation.
