DIY Patio Update

Our DIY Patio is about 60% completed.  We are now preparing for the roof tiles.  Initially we planned that once the insulation is up, we will install the roof.  However, when you look up, you will see the insulation, something like looking at tin foil. So it was a no no.  Then, I wanted the look of something like a resort, where you look up, you will see the roof tiles.  That idea too was 'rejected' by Hubby, reason being was that it would make the patio very hot if we wish to sit there in the afternoons, due to no insulation.

So now, Hubby has install ply wood which was stained, followed by the insulation and then up goes the roof tiles. More updates soon!  In the meantime, here are some pictures to show you on our DIY Patio progress.

BEFORE : We will be looking at the insulation,
which looks like aluminium foil
AFTER : Now we will be looking at ply wood,
which feels much cosy to look at
