For the past two weeks my husband and I have been working on a major project: tackling our backyard & sideyard and totally renovating everything! We finished putting in new rock, new trees & bushes, two raised planter beds, a paved walk-way, and stepping stones. You can see the first part of our renovation
here. Next on our to-do-list for the backyard was to install a patio cover. Having a patio cover is seriously a must for living in Las Vegas. Also considering the fact that we have a large sliding glass door and huge window downstairs that faces the sun the majority of the day/afternoon! It gets so hot downstairs in the summer! Last week we had our new patio cover installed! One guy from
DURA-KOOL installed the whole thing in 8 hours! I was totally impressed and he did an awesome job too! We had DURA-KOOL install a solid and lattice patio cover: half & half. I'm amazed with how much light it blocks from coming into the house. It's also a lot cooler in our house too. This sounds really weird, but I'm excited to see our air-conditioning bills in the summer and how much money we might be saving now that we have a patio cover! Here are some before and after photos of our new patio!

I've decided to make my Backyard & Side-yard Renovation a series in chapter installments. We are still not completely finished with our renovation. In the next chapter, we will tackle the flower beds!
What home projects have you been working on?
