Well I finally finished my latest outdoor project - a 16x16 Ipe deck with a cedar cover. It took about 9 months, mainly because I did it all myself, and was out of commission with a lisfranc injury for a couple of months.

It's all wired for Internet, music and Satellite - although the tv is in next year's budget. I splurged over Christmas and bought a Sonos connect amp that allows me to stream iTunes, pandora etc to my outdoor speakers.

All in all I am very pleased with how it came out and can't wait to start enjoying it...

Nice job! I love the way you wrapped it around your existing stone. Well done!

Good luck with the foot, my daughter had that as well!

Looks great. How much experience with this type of stuff did you have before you started?

Thanks!

I've done other small construction projects around the house - work shops, railings, lots of masonry projects. It's the first time I've attempted something of this scale though...

Did you do the electrical yourself, or get a contractor?

Looks awesome! Well done.

looks awesome!

about the only nitpick i see is that electrical box. find a way to hide that sucker.

Very nice!

It was a small enough electrical job that I was comfortable doing it myself... Just 1 switch, lights and a couple of electrical receptacles...

As for hiding my lovely grey box, I'm thinking some kind of beer dispensing apparatus would sufice...

absolutely
