36 | July/August 2017 e outdoor space was my next project. I poured a concrete sidewalk and footings for the 16'x16' metal- roofed porch. I used grey rock which extends all the way out to our large raised bed with flowers, herbs, vegetables, and succulents, and also built a steel shed out back to house garden tools and equipment. I put up a small fence line to give us some privacy from passersby, but the majority of the yard is not fenced. is gives us an expansive view of the sky, the yard, and the tree line. All in all, from the very beginning to the final nail, the project took 26 months. I got help from a few internet videos and a couple of friends helping out when they could, and I'm proud to say I was able to break away from a mortgage. I was also able to create a livable home for Jennifer and myself that would more than adequately provide for our separate hobbies, hers for her floral design business and mine for my love of construction and building. is space really has everything we need and nothing we don't.
