patio~finishing touches

 Remember our DIY backyard makeover from last summer? Well, there were a couple small details left to finish on the patio part of that project which are now getting checked off the to-do list. We have two vents in the foundation of our house where the patio was placed that needed to be kept clear and accessible. In order to do that the patio was designed with two holes deep enough to expose the vents. Since the openings are not a standard size and needed to have removable covers that meant another DIY project.

So,

a couple weeks ago Ron welded the first of two, custom~fit, metal grates for the vent cutouts and last week I helped choose the paint color. I think the first one turned out great and the second one will be finished and installed soon.

Happy Friday!
