I am now motivated to do and complete my own patio and have started with refurbishing my mother’s antique cast iron dining table which turned nicely. I will be building a couch, and refurbishing a swing, picnic table and old Adirondack chairs. Whew!!!! I have a plethora of other do to projects that I will be working on it may time to complete, but I will get it done. Again, Thank you so much. God bless. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️

@donnawojdacz6969 3 года назад

I would make another shorter “bar top” for over the frig, using shelf brackets instead of the cinder blocks (but keeping it the same height) moving the frig out of that corner and putting it against the wall that has the hose spigot. That would protect it from the rain, give you a place to put stuff that goes into the frig, etc. and provide a cohesive look. Good job, you two.

@lovinglifeasmegan 3 года назад

We have to keep it in the corner because of where the plug is

@mimi_to_four7151 3 года назад

@JL-hw5hu 3 года назад

@@lovinglifeasmegan I would put an awning onto the back side of the patio area to not only keep the refrigerator covered but that other bar area as well. It can be decorated to match your other decor look really nice and keep your family dry if coming in and out if raining.

30 Seconds outdoor cleaner cleans removes algae, mold and mildew from anything outdoors, different size bottles. I've used the one that can attach to a garden hose. I spray on wait 30 second. Then spray off with water, of course follow the package directions. Bought at Lowes. I've used this produced many times. It does an excellent job.

Your patio looks awesome!!!!! If and when you can, string up some patio lights, you can add some posts into some large planters, fill with some cement to hold the posts in place, then add some rocks, or add dirt/ soil to plant some flowers or fun grass. Put up a large corner shelf with brackets over the refrigerator to keep the rain off it, put plants and an outdoor speaker if needed. ENJOY.

We are retired and live on a very strict budget, so I totally understand. It's amazing what learning the difference between a "want" and a "necessity" is and go accordingly. I have to say that those "wants" are not missed!! The patio is amazing!

Loved your vid. My husband just did this same thing for a bar/TV stand for me on our patio!!! We also did the same with the patio pavers and painted it gray. I did go with a stone look alike vinyl on the patio because it is covered and he glued that down. Besides I did not have enough to do a real stone slate job. I am budgeting for that in the future. Oh, Derrick needs to purchase a hand truck/dolly to move stuff around. My husband and I are older with bad backs. lol. You all definitely need that dolly in the yard and moving stuff around especially those blocks. Every home needs a hand truck/dolly.

Try building a triangle wooden shelf over the refrigerator matching your bar tops. You can use it to keep your bar wear glasses or serving platers for your guests. Stain it the same as bar tops. You can even place some potted plants on top to add color.

@bamagirl4055 3 года назад

For the mini fridge.. you could build a little cubby from cinder blocks or pavers to protect it. Something to Incase it in?

@bamagirl4055 3 года назад

@@lovinglifeasmegan I don't think I explained that correctly. I meant building a " cabinet" or cubby that you could slide the fridge into.

Megan & Derek: You may want to think about triangular "sails" for both shade & cover. They have a large grommet in each tip (so, 3 each sail). They are anchored, tied off with rope--to, either poles sunk into the ground, and/or into large "eyes" screwed into your house siding. They come in several colors or neutrals, & are very sturdy & weather-resistant. And, they look cool & perform well.

I would suggest an artificial hanging fern hanging in the corner between the bars. It will color that space and tie into the small table plant/rug. Hanging will soften the hard corner while leaving your bar top open. 🌿 You can find them in thrift stores, or create your own using a basket, styrofoam and silk plants.

@LAK1253 3 года назад

So perfect... That egg chair is the cherry on top👌. Idk if u have any issue with your pavers moving around or weeds growing between them or debris getting stuck but if so there's a product you pour over it like sand and sweep into the cracks then wet it down with the hose and it acts as grout and fills and stabilizes the pavers. And they still will come up just as easily when you wanna remove them. Just a FYI tip

@lovinglifeasmegan 3 года назад

We have been hesitant to do that because we DIYed the pavers, so it’s not perfectly level

@cynthia2233 3 года назад

It looks SUPER! All of that hard work and saving $$ was worth it! I had an A/C unit on a patio at one house. I built a simple frame and covered with a lattice panel that you can buy as a large sheet. It definitely hid the monster, couldn't do much about the noise, but it sure looked better ! When you power washed the rug, I could just imagine you going back to do the driveway, afterward! That's how I used to get when we got ours out! We bought a round, rotating brush at Lowes for the driveway. It saves hours! It looks even nicer if you go over it lightly with the regular nozzle after you use the rotating brush.

@lovinglifeasmegan 3 года назад

I’ve thought about doing that and then also hanging hooks on it to use for swimsuits & towels. We have a major repair happening to that unit next week though, so I didn’t see any point in covering it until after it’s fixed

@cynthia2233 3 года назад

At my current house, I bought a picket fence section at the hardware store to hide two AC units on the side of the house ( exposed to neighbors drive) later I added braces, so it would sit on the patio, and moved it to side of garage by the pool. It worked great for hanging towels and wet suits without any hooks. We put hanging brackets on back to hang pool brush and net horizontaly and put pool noodles/floats behind it.

@jillhirsh9260 3 года назад

Depending on how protected you need the fridge to be, an inexpensive, attractive way to cover that corner area is a shade sail. The triangular shape is perfect for corners. It will brotect from leaves and dirt. You can waterproof it to withstand the rain. But most important budget wise is that they are not very ecpendive and can be put up and taken down as needed. It is not a permanent fix but would surly provide protection for the remainder of the season for very little investment. It also would provide much appreciated shade on those really hot days. They come in asdorted sizes and many different colors. And since you have a very good handyman on the property already, it will be a cinch to install. A small investment, an easy install, and as stylish or understated as you want. Hope that helps! Your patio is lovely! Looks like the prefect hangout for a weekend party or a cold drink after work. Enjoy!!

Lights you need lights. I also want an egg chair and fire pit table. Good job

Beautiful, and I admire your establishing and living by a budget, it’s more gratifying once you get something.

@lovinglifeasmegan 3 года назад

Agreed 😊

I want the egg chair!❤️❤️I think it would look great if you had the two bar tops pushed together to make a true L shape.

@lovinglifeasmegan 3 года назад

We thought about that & tried it off camera, but it didn’t look as good as the way we have it set up now. It significantly shortened the available space of the shorter bar, and created an awkward corner where anyone would likely avoid sitting.

Hey Megan I remember the first one you did last year work your patio. I definitely love it how since you gotten new furniture and did some dyi things to make it more functional for you. Also Derek is the best I can't believe that he will drop whatever he is doing and help you out.

@lovinglifeasmegan 3 года назад

This is actually the 3rd patio makeover I’ve done. 😳 if you go back & watch them all in order…you can really see how my skill level & decor tastes have improved! 🤗

First time watching your channel. Enjoyed it. I’m 50 and My husband of 33 years just power washed our home Sunday my daughters came by later in the day and asked why we didn’t call them to help us paint! LOL... sometimes you don’t even realize how bad it looks till you use one of those things.🥰

Oh and didn't skip any ads. If others don't know skipping ads cuts Kaylas RU-vid check. If you really enjoy a creator don't skip ads...go get a drink or go powder your nose or switch over your laundry or something like that. All the work, time and energy used editing etc...cost coints So don't skip ads on your favorite creators RU-vid channels...also post similar comments on the other creators you enjoy as well. Not everyone is aware of how RU-vid works. 🥰🥰😊😊

I'd place bar in the middle so ppl can be seated against each other rather than not looking at each other. This would bring more interaction. But other wise good job!

What about putting the fridge underneath the umbrella? It would still be accessible to everyone. You might have to put it on a small table but with your skills you could build one! Love how it turned out! That would also free up a space for the grill!

How would I plug it in over there lol?
