Patio Rennovation


We have completed the renovation of our back  patio. We took down a palm tree that was growing through the bamboo roof and getting too tall to trim by ordinary means. Our gardener took a chain saw and cut sections of the tree down and carried them off to the landfill.

This is the before photo of the tree going through the roof.





This is the after photo.  We made the palm tree stump into a table, covered the roof hole with bamboo, and rehung the bamboo hanging chair. We also had the lighting redone.  Now, we have a nice seating area without a tree blocking our view.  It is also a cleaner space since we don't have the palm tree dropping all it's blooms, seeds and fronds.






We repurposed a wood table top for the palm stump table. It fit perfectly which never happens for us when we are renovating.

Project completed.

Orchids

The palm trees are gone. I needed to find a new home for the orchids that hung on their trunks.  I saved them all before the trees went down...
