Patio Cover Demolition
_______________________________________________
January 16, 2009


We started tearing down parts of the patio cover when we had time in between other projects. It was ugly, wasn't built well, and partially blocked one of the family room windows. So our plan is to tear the whole thing down, and build something new that looks better and covers less area.

After we finished tearing out the wall. Fortunately for us, they used a lot of screws instead of nails to build this thing. That made it pretty easy to take apart.

They didn't do too good with the wiring though... This is just an extension cord with the plug cut off this end and wired to the light.

Finished for now.



We'll leave the rest of it up for now so we have a place to keep things out of the rain.
