This has been awesome, 3 days in a row with cool rainy weather we have been able to sit out on the patio and eat dinner and enjoy the rain and new back yard.

Well,
I went ahead and refurbed the pond a little bit. I removed the top layer of stones and leveled the back side out. Now I can fill it right up to about 1" above the bottom of the stones and you can see the water from the patio now. The waterfall doesnt look quite as good as it used to (and it is not completely finished yet, have to let the foam cure so it still needs a little tweaking and trimming. hopefully the vines I planted will grow and cover the fence so the entire backdrop is green and not a ugly fence
I also went ahead stained the patio roof and put new smoked polycarbonate roof panels on. It is starting to look very tropical out there now. The night time picture dont do it justice as the lights are not as bright as they appear in the pictures.

I understand, the pictures never look the same as they do in person, especially the night ones. It looks very nice though!

It looks great, and good lighting creates a relaxing atmosphere on warm evenings.
