With this being our first experience in base housing (hmm, hmm...I mean post housing.... all you Navy and/or Army people know what I'm talking about....), we're feeling the itch now that summer is here. No sense really planting anything and we don't even mow our own yard (sounds heavenly to many of you, I know). There are many things I do like about our house here on post, but the backyard and lack of privacy are definitely not on that list. So, Sunday we decided to do a mini-project and extend onto our patio a little bit. We borrowed the idea from a neighbor that had lived in base housing before. The first (and I'm totally serious) thing they did was lay down some slabs for their patio table. So figuring this must be allowed, we did the same thing to give us more room for our bench and bbq. Sven and Nikolas worked and I, well..., I took pictures. =) We love our new little patio. It's amazing what a few extra square feet can do. I plan to spend many hours on that bench this summer reading and keeping an eye on Nikolas! And, I guess we'll be able to duplicate this set up in our next place seeing as how we have to dig it all up and "leave it as we found it" when moving time comes!
