Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it: We share a home with my 90 year old Father-in-Law. We live in the basement and so when Summer comes I am DYING to get outside from the dark space.

We have a huge garden...and have many "rooms in it. At the entrance to the back yard is a small patio where we BBQ followed by a lush and green planted area with a water pump feature I carried back from Ireland in my suitcase :-). We have an Asian style garden on the far side with a Thai Spirit House, then comes the large patio with in-ground fish pond, fire pit, seating and dining and bar. Through the arch you come into our Vegetable Garden...followed by another patio where we are building a fire pit from roasting large pieces of meat etc. All of these are connected with a cobble stone path we laid ourselves.
