Outdoor Living
Friday, July 11, 2008 at 02:00PM Now that it's summer time, people want to spend more time enjoying the outdoors and less time indoors. By sprucing up your outdoor space you can add another "room" to your house. If you have a larger outdoor area, try adding an outdoor kitchen and dining area. Add a grill, pizza oven, wok, small refrigerator, sink, and table & chairs. You can cook al fresco while dining al fresco. If you patio isn't that big you can add a popular fire pit with chairs around it. You can have bon fires and winney roasts almost any day of the week. If you yard already has a pool, add stylish striped padded chairs around it to give tired swimmers a place to rest. By sprucing up your yard you can enjoy the summer weather without using your car.

This looks like a great blog for showing critical information in this housing market. I am bookmarking this site to come back.
Beverly, one day I will have an outdoor room just as you described. I can picture my family around the firepit roasting marshmellows. Until then, we'll keep using our campfire in the backyard.
It's a great way to create more space for living and entertaining! If you want to build an "outdoor kitchen", maybe plan it out in detail, then build/install it in parts. For us, we would add a built-in grill and a pergola. Now is the time to watch for sales on grills, too. The end of the season is usually a good time to watch for bargains! Beverly
