Bob, I was able to partake of a little Glenlevete tonight myself but sadly it’s too dam cold to smoke outside and I don’t have an awesome indoor space like you that I can smoke.
Hey Chuck! As of a couple days ago I didn't either. I just finished it today. Here's a view the other way -
This is under the deck for our bedroom and leads to a patio. It used to be wide open and wouldn't even keep one dry if it was raining. I've been meaning to enclose it for a long time and the recent renovations made it happen finally. The glass to the left and the far wall are temporary. Either later this Fall, or maybe in Spring, I'm adding another 300 sq/ft with a bar and fireplace. The ceiling on that portion will be 11 feet.
Right now it's 40 and breezy out. No way I would be having as enjoyable time as I am now had I not done this.
Thanks Chuck. I'm very happy with it. I didn't really have a plan other than to enclose it. The design just unfolded as I did it. Now I have a pattern to use and i'll make a few aesthetic changes
