its still the same, but starting to look better with age...just too busy to do anything else to it and will see how it looks after being winterized.

Thanks!...actually that is stone veneer, well they call it "manufactured" stone, i think it's just formed concrete to look like stone and it's not full size, just a couple inches deep...but it's not cheap.

wow that does look alot better...thanks for hurting my credit card even more...haha

wish i could see it, work blocks imagestation, can someone upload it to the site? thanks

That is a good idea that I havent thought about, i'll have to check it out tonight to see if it's feasible. As for the reasoning behind the bridge there are actually a few reasons: 1.) To get over to the bar from the patio area w/o having to go "the long way"...haha. 2.) Was hoping it would...

thanks!!!!

Thanks for the photoshop, if it doesnt take too long could you do the same with this rock, it's the one i really want if i go that router:

It'll age in no time, probably within a month, i'm sure the stain used is low quality. Maybe I'll power wash it and then stain it a gray-ish color to blend better w/ the rock.

That thatch is about 2 years old and still looks good...typically the good quality stuff lasts about 4-5 years...I keep it outside all winter long and even the snow doesn't hurt it....if you have the room I'm sure storing it inside if you have harsh winters would extend the life, but it's not...

Have not ordered the stone yet since there's no rush considering the leadtime...Would like some feedback on this, my coworkers seem to think it looks much better now, and I "kinda" like it. I think it will look better if I mount a few nice lights on the cedar posts. I could also mount some spot...

Well after finding out it's gonna take a couple weeks to get the manufactured stone I want I decided to play around a bit and I picked up a few $6 1/2 round cedar post strips from Home Depot and created this....I think it looks better but still not sure if I am in love...What do you think?

nope, no room back there.

Hmmm...that may look ok too, but I'm leaning towards this manufactured stone. [attachment=0:1uc7farf]stone.JPG[/attachment:1uc7farf] http://www.stonecraft.com/ Stones>Ledgestone>Pennsylvania

Why did the chicken cross the road? :lol:

That's exactly what I though, the wood doesnt fit in with the rocks...maybe I will cover the front frame with similar looking rocks! Anyone got photoshop skills? LOL

I'm in NJ, no heater or solar cover....it was 58 degrees when opened 2 weeks ago, jumped from 68 to 85 degrees in the past few days with the outside temperature in the upper 90's temperature.

looks like its working now, the thread i was having problems with is now letting me reply.

Everytime I hit REPLY it takes me to the main page...huh?

Maybe my pics will show up this time. Hey...Adam here...nice little forums ya got here.... Well last summer we decided to take out a 2nd mortgage to make-over our backyard which consisted of a 50' x 100' dirt and weed lot and an old ugly 20' round AG pool and falling down rotten wood fence. So...

Thanks for the compliments, not sure if I've reached a limit or something but since adding the pics to the original thread the forums wont let me add any more attachments.... Already have an outdoor shower and the poolhouse/shed is going up tomorrow morning. We're actually going to turn our...

This one took 3 guys 3 days to build, it's not very tough, just time consuming... Materials were a few hundred bucks... The kids love it because on either side are natural rock steps that go up to two big flat jumping rocks....
