We have an old backsplit and there is always some work to be done.
We have done extensive interior renovations, and the outside is another labour of love. This spring we had the deck replaced. Timing was not the best, due to lumber prices. However, the old deck was in a sorry state, with many boards just rotting under a persons weight. We replaced the deck boards, as the 2x6 or 2x8 underneath were solid. We also replaced the privacy fence between our house and neighbours. Next year, I have to stain the deck and also the deck that wraps around the house, which is still original. |

Nice! Joe, my apologies; I don't know how I missed this post. They did well on butting everything up. Looks great. Post up some pics once the doors are on. Curious to see what you went with. |

Joekerr Looking at your pics again this morning. What are you doing with the existing garage space? Reframing existing doors and smoothing out? Also, driveway, concrete or asphalt?

There are two bays of the existing garage as you have no doubt noticed. The bay that is partially covered is going to be framed in to a man door inside (with the outside exterior just lined up to existing wall and stuccoed. And that bay will be turned into a mudroom / laundry room. The other garage bay that is not affected by the reno will remain a garage that I will keep the lawn tractor, snow blower, bikes, kids paraphernalia, etc in. Eventually, I might put a shed in the back and move all of that stuff into it so it is a true garage once the kids move out and I can use it for a summer sports car. Assuming the amount of alcohol I am consuming during covid doesn't kill me first anyways. Or other life choices. I do enjoy going quickly in a vehicle, though I like to think that I'm careful about the time and place where I do so. |

All that being said I fucked up! Got TV in today and the feet are like a fucking INCH too deep and hang off the top! I also didn’t take into account the wheels added height so the TV is fairly high up now, not horrible but could be a few inches lower. Lastly I didn’t even think about my center channel speaker. In FL I have the TV mounted on the wall so the speaker just sat on the console and was below the tv. In this case 1 there was no room for it and 2 even if there was would block a good chunk of screen. So I have begun work on version 2.0. I will use this one for the “concession” stand area and I’m making a deeper, shorter version and will have to come up with some kind of shelf or something in the front for the center channel. |

I'm the master of selecting some arbitrary dimension for no reason other than it looked about right. Only to find later I'm an inch too tall, a 1/2 inch too wide, or I didn't leave room for XYZ. Literally every time. You'd think it's learn. Nope. |

Here is v 2.0 in it’s final resting area. I ended up using the butcher block countertop I had for this one as it was the perfect size for the deeper frame. You can also see v 1.0 next to it and my popcorn machine should be coming this weekend.
Pretty happy with the results. Will probably build more stuff now that I have some basic knowledge like lots of storage for the rest of the basement. |

Added a nice back patio last summer. Stamped concrete and a pavilion from Costco. Added a retractable projector screen to have some movie nights.
