We have been working hard on our backyard redo since January. We added the pool and fire pit areas, painted the entire exterior of the house, added two porches - one of which is the outdoor kitchen area and bar, converted a small cabana into a pool shed, and added underwater lights in our (saltwater) canal. We still have to add outdoor sound, tv, redo some plumbing and run electric to kitchen/bar area. We have a dedicated 30 amp circuit for our toy hauler so for now we've run an extension cord off the camper when we've used the electric smoker or fryer. We also need to hang decorations. We live on the water right by the Gulf of Mexico so we spend most of our time outside. We've seen dolphins, manatee, turtles, all kinds of fish and even a sea otter in the canal. In fact we had dolphins just today! We wanted to feel like we are on vacation every time we step outside. The daytime pictures were before paint or porch additions. My favorite time is evening when all my party lights and underwater lights are on (they are on timers).
