We tore down our old 10x10 and started this project at the end of January.
We have finished building the structure, minus some shelving, racks, a center table, and small supports for the kayaks. (But that's all when it's fully completed.)
We are running electricity (60 amp) to it after we grade the whole yard and start the huge landscaping project that will change the entire layout of the area in front of and to the sides of the building.
Building a 23-foot retaining wall that will push any incoming water from the road/driveway coming under the gate to the back to the French drain that will be installed. Behind the retaining wall will be a 333-square-foot seating/grilling/fire pit/chilling area. This will be done with red lava rock and pavers. The red lava rock will also top the French drain.
To the left of the building, we're constructing a black chain-link fence that stretches 8 feet with a 3-foot gate from the building to the existing black fence.
There will just be a 10-foot stretch of fence from the back of the building to the fence behind the building, no gate in this section.
On the side, as well as behind the building, we will lay .5" to 2" dark grey river rock and make that a dog run.
This space is almost 700 square feet total, will have raised beds, and little shelters for them. (Only to be used while we are outside using the space.) They are inside dogs.
We are excited to have our house back and have proper storage for all of our things, including getting the Bowflex OUT of my room, lol.
What do y'all think of it so far?
All the bold colors of the building match our house: tin, door, trim, siding, gables, etc.
