Roof will be a corrugated asphalt product called Ondua. The project is running behind schedule, as I managed to drive a shard of wood into my hand so deeply that it took surgery to remove it, but we are back on track now. Plan is for an L or U shaped bar and a seating area. Then landscaping, perhaps a water feature. One of the neighbors asked if we were building an ark.
