So the lights stay lit all night even though they are solar? I had some solar landscape lighting and they were lucky to stay lit a couple hours after the sun went down.

They stay lit an average of 5-6 hours depending on how sunny it is that day.

I have a vented gas heater on my porch with a wall thermostat.
One year I ran a unvented heater and I had too much moisture, so I fixed my old vented one and added the thermostat.
I like it about 60 deg in the winter.

I found a chair and a fake fireplace heater at a shop over the weekend. I'm going back today to check them both out. I spent the weekend investigating how to repaint concrete and what kind of paint to use.
I've got a boho feel going on with plants and candles and twinkly lights. I might even paint a design on the floor and just let my full hippy hang out... Lol
I'll add photos as I progress.

Yeah I looked at the stain but it won't fully cover the floor and I haven't seen an application that I like yet. I am a little worried about the paint but the existing stuff has held up for over 5 years.

Could you post a photo of faux marble? I have ugly outside cement steps I am trying to do something with.

Nice addy! So it faces the ponds? What a great view it must have
We look down on the ponds, can watch the fish swim from the house. The ponds, except the deck ponds, are at the bottom of our house slope.

Looks like a good place for a big chair and side table where you could curl up with a book and a cup of coffee.

Great minds @ashirley I found a great chair at a resale place. I'm going to point all my pots and planters white and do shelving for plants. Add a fireplace heater in the corner and hang sheer white curtains with twinkly lights behind it. I also am going to sand and repaint my floors a sand color.
