Our new shady spot

It has been in the "one day..." plans for several years to put a cover over our back deck. Friends, that day has finally arrived! It's been in the works for a couple of weeks now and Brandon is almost finished. Our back deck gets a tremendous amount of hot afternoon sun, which makes our kitchen extremely hot. Add cooking supper in the oven or on the stove top to that and you have a miserably hot conditions inspite of the air conditioning being set on 72 degrees. It just can't keep up with that kind of heat. So now, I am happy to say that we are at last shaded and what a difference it makes!
Thanks to my wonderful father-in-law, Ron, and a dear friend, Stephen. Their help was much needed since I am a terrible assistant to my husband when it comes to these types of projects.

 

I feel like we added a room on to our house. The kids can go out and play in the shade now.

The misting system was Brandon's little touch. He loves the novelty of it. I do have to say, when the breeze is blowing the mist inside the porch, it feels great. When the mist is flying out into space and not hitting anything you want it to, it's a sad disappointment.

That's it.
