@lsiunsuex That's a cool idea.
lsiunsuex

and we decided to cover the fence in that

Chain link?

yeah - hate it - so its either deal with it (the bamboo) or rip it out and do vinyl
figure we've put so much money into the patio and we have no privacy for parties. may as well do something with the fence
Chris Cudmore

Plant a hedge.

well... i saw this on houzz over the weekend; my inspiration from this is to do a concrete block wall about 5ft tall and she can paint it a color similar to the photo; then put planters in front of it which i think would look really nice

Easy Killer! One project at a time is all a marriage can handle.

i count about another 110 concrete blocks and 10-12 bags of concrete to remove the chain link and put in a solid wall; no big deal and cheaper to do then the bamboo will be
i would do this instead of the bamboo

there's a tornado warning here?
oh, it's just a watch
lsiunsuex
lsiunsuex
the flagstone will be done by this weekend
the sail should be here soon as well as the bamboo
the concrete wall to replace the chain link .... to much effort and probably will be passed on
i've had enough - finish the fireplace, cover the beds in mortar and paint it - get some furniture and i'm done
needless to say, the guy installing the flagstone was really impressed with my masonry work and wants to trade me labor - he'll take off some what i owe him if i build him 3 concrete block pillars for his mom's patio
obvious disclaimer preceded - i'm by no means a pro - i guess from the look of what i did, it was good enough for him

Aaron

@lsiunsuex, no I think someone else added it once they noticed I removed the other line
Wires is not all that bad - we had a vent pipe running horizontally through ours
BMitch
BMitch
if I had that, I would have said f* it and left the soffits. I had punched a few holes to see what I was getting into before ordering the cabinets
lsiunsuex
lsiunsuex
except for the exhaust fan duct like in @BMitch photo, ours was empty
@BMitch did the cabinets come ?
Aaron
Aaron
@BMitch, the contractor just ended up taking it out and hooking in an AAV to the toilet (since that's all that pipe was feeding)
