Maxey and I have talked for the past three years or so about extending the covering over our patio. It's a hard decision.
We spend a lot of time on our patio. We have coffee out there every morning, eat most of our meals there, visit with friends, and just chill. I love to hold Precious and just rock in my rocking chair watching the clouds float by. It's wonderful to sit and watch it rain!
Another thing to consider is that we get a great breeze through our opened windows and opened doors. Will the extended cover affect the breeze? Will it make the existing part of the patio dark and stuffy? Will it take away our enjoyment of one of the most used parts of our home?
I wish we knew.
So...Maxey put up a temporary cover this morning stretching a tarp across the proposed location of the new extension. I don't know if he's reached his decision yet or not. However, we're supposed to talk next week to the gentleman who will do the construction. His price quote may make the decision for us.

The vote is in: No cover on the patio!!! I think the deciding factor was the fear of messing up our wonderful life as it is (and the REALLY unnecessary cost).
Life is good just like it is!!
Hi, Veretta! With covers or none, the most important thing about patio is having it properly lit – f particularly if you spend much of your time here during the night. The correct lighting will not only improve the ambiance but is also beneficial for security.
