Spending More Money

Today we talked to the foreman of the guys who work in our gated community. We hired them to build a solid patio cover for us. We really should have had a cover put over the patio many years ago, but just kept putting it off. Our backyard is on the south side of the house and gets the direct sun most of the day. We got to where we don't even BBQ out there anymore because it is just too darn hot in the summer. Anyway, they are hopefully going to start the work this weekend and it should take them about 4 days to complete. A lot of people here have the "latticed" roof patio covers, but we wanted solid with shingles so we can even go out there when it's raining if we want too.
