next up was dismantling the original patio cover.

once that was done the first order of business was to scrape the old peeling paint and repaint in the new color.
once that was done i installed the new stringer to the wall.
we went from 2x4 to 2x6 for a sturdier cover. we also raised it 4 inches in the back to match the roof line of the other cover (though at a different height) and for a little more headroom.

after that the poles and beam went up followed by the joists.
this went quick and no one was around to photograph it so you'll just hafta imagine what it looked like.
next up was another peice of faux bamboo gutter and corrugated tin roofing.
we decided not to route any of the wood on this side but give it a deeper burn. also no reed roofing, just painted brown.

next up was building 2 walls to enclose the end of the patio.
