The Bosko patio conversion is just about done... well the first phase anyway :) Earlier in this thread I posted pics of the items that Bosko and Truus made for me including a pair of carved columns, a carved A-frame beam, the trim along the top of the cover and the skull in the center. Let me take a moment to praise Bosko and Truus, they were wonderful to work with and created these items exactly to my spec's and shipped them quite quickly considering the effort required to make them! The patio structure was something I built around 8 years ago; I pulled off the old plastic roofing and decked it, built the A-frame, roofed it with asphalt shingles (required by the neighborhood ARC), installed a pair of skylights and finally installed the carved trim and replaced the existing 4x4 columns with the new carved totems from Bosko & Truus. It's taken many hours to get to this point! I still have a lot of remodeling to do under the cover including building some wall panels clad in Lampac and Palm matting with recessed mug shelves, doing some kind of finish on the slab (slate maybe) and doing some electrical work. I have some cool carvings, a tiki bar and other goodies that will go in once the wall finishes are done, but until then here are some pics of this phase:
