This is a great video! It’s rare people on YT give a coat and breakdown of items. Do you have a list of where you purchased your items. It’s beautiful! The design is incredible! Hope to see more videos soon.
You can add a wood such as teak or cedar to add to the existing over hang you want for the outdoor kitchen island. You’ll also need to waterfall it as well. I think some metal brackets would be needed to keep in place with the stone top, but ask a carpenter or professional in such areas. You can also do the wood in a fluting design since you like the modern look.
I love this video!!! Showed it to my wife and we are planning to do something similar to our house/yard. Do you happen to have the link to where you purchased the walkway lights? Thanks!!!
Hi, thanks for reaching out. I have added that link to the product list on the video description. They are the Ring Pathlights amzn.to/3xjAK1y note that I have the "D" battery version because I like that they have a soft glow from dusk to dawn (when not activated by motion) the solar version (amzn.to/4ci4RVS) on the other hand doesn't have this feature by default, they are either on or off, I have read that you can program the solar ones to do this. (Not sure)
You live in a old neighborhood and yet your house looks new & modern. Is it a old house remodeled? Fantastic job, looks great. But, I thought you said a budget, $32,000 sounds like a lot, but, maybe not. We opted for brick on our patio and it was cheap as we got it off Facebook MKPL. They were new, stacked in a guy's yd. because he did cement instead. We got 1,200 new bricks for $125. We have to load them ourselves., so extra work, then unload them Then my husband built a pergola for $250. We will put a metal roof on this yr. leftover from another project. We have no outdoor kitchen, love yours. Will you build a cover over everything ? We live on 80 acres in WI. Our patio furniture was off Facebook, also. Just subscribed.
My neighborhood has several homes that are 100 years old. Our house was built in 1967 and fully remodeled in 2018 (from 900sq ft to 2800) When I started getting quotes for patios I was quoted $15000 for a unibloc paver patio (with out landscape) of the same size as out concrete one which was $4000. (Not inclusing the walk way), for me not being handy to be able to get my project split into phases and get two phases, including furniture, a kitchen, and landscape for $35k, was the budget friendly option. The One area where we didn't want to compromise was outdoor furniture, we were set on TEAK or Eucalyptus wood. Sounds like you guys killed it between marketplace and your DIY skills. You guys live in a huge property. Do you have animals also? Our next step (or phase) is a louvered pergola, we have looked at a company called Struxure, but the quote was $50k, so we will wait a few years and look at different options. Thank you so much for subscribing.
@@churro.thebulldog We raise our own beef, we have 2 now. My husband has 2 lg. 1 acre veggie gardens . We have 8 flower gardens. I only do the flowers. LOL! We have farmland that we rent out to a Mennonite farmer. Our woods are where my husband gets our firewood for winter. We have our own well. We have Amish neighbors, which was a nice surprise. We moved here from CA, we now live in WI. We are from Fresno, in the city, so this is totally a different way of life. I don't like the snow. Your pergola plans w/the louvered top sounds like a great idea. I have Vitiligo and have to stay out of the sun. You are so nice to answer me back. I love the houses on your block. You should just drive down the streets so we can see all the homes. Thks again. Take care!
@@estelleadamski308 Wow that is a lot of land and a lot of work, it sounds really cool though. (youtube channel cool) Do you ever miss Fresno? I have never been. Like you I don't like the snow (except for December) I moved to Michigan from Costa Rica for College 20 years ago and I am still here. We live in Royal Oak Michigan, a suburb just a few miles north of Detroit. We have a cute little downtown, the city is up and coming so you have a nice mixture of new and old. This is a pretty good drive around video someone did of our little city ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lAIkRNFplck.html
@@churro.thebulldog We adopted a baby girl from Peru in South America, just south of you. I miss the Chinese food in CA. West Coast Chinese food is different than anywhere else as they have been here for over 15+ yrs.. We live an hr. from the nearest big town, EauClaire. Our town is only 500 ppl OUR HOUSE IS 90 + YRS. OLD. We added 650 sq. ft. to our house. We own the grandparent's house of a starlet from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Carole Landis was born here and is our one claim to fame. She made a lot of movies in the 1940's So that's neat. We added stained & leaded glass windows, & antique doors and bead board, clawfoot tub, and 2 leaded glass cabinets to our DR. to add charm to our house Now we are doing our yd. work. So it's nice to talk to someone else who is doing the same. Just got back from town having a MRI on my knee, can't wait to hear the results. Take care, friend!
Next to the garage is a single Blue Point Juniper. Next to the fence gate, I have two Sky Rocket Junipers, and along the fence, I have 15 Emerald Greens
I have no idea what’s “modern” about preventing nature from flourishing. Seems extremely old fashioned to me. Which is why we’re experiencing rapid ecological collapse.
@@churro.thebulldog I’d say the modern trend is recognizing that the only way we’re going to have bees, butterflies & birds is if we all recognize our little plots of land need to be friendly to nature. You could plant a native shrub with high wildlife value of some sort. A small native tree. And a few wildflowers or native bunch grasses. Or something. Anyway, there’s nothing modern about a few non-native shrubs & a patch of lawn. It’s what’s we’ve been doing for far too long. It’s literally gonna kill our kids.
@@churro.thebulldog I’m in central FL. Orlando to be precise. I have 4 or 5 native plant nurseries within an hour drive of me. The closest is 45 minutes away. Anyway, you want to look up the closest native plant nurseries near you. They are always very helpful. You could even show them pictures of your yard so they can help choose the right plants for your specific needs. I’m sooooo happy that you’re a good sport and are now interested !!!!!! The only way we’re gonna save our environment is that we all participate in creating a “nationwide park” with our little plots of land adding up to large plots of land. Plus, bringing in native bees (they don’t sting because they don’t create huge hives they feel they must protect like the non-native honey bees) and butterflies is pretty magical. You don’t have to do anything hugely elaborate. Even just several carefully chosen plants can have a huge impact. I really like you now 😉
