House mod.

The first shot is my next door neighbors patio. The carpet munchers had it up for sale for about a month and I snapped this while it was vacant. Anyway, I want my patio extended out like this.

How much do you think it will cost? I'm already awaiting a quote but wanted to ask around so I want get ripped off.

What I want.


And my current small ass patio. It's 3' x 8' currently, so they would need to break that out. The area I want concreted is 10' x 25'. I was only able to get a partial pic of that area so the Green line would actually extend past the areas marked in the shot.

 

nooooooooooo doubt. do it.


head to target too, they're having an end of season clearance on patio furniture. They have some baller ass mini firepits too.

 

go to lowes and ask them how to do it. that doesnt look like it should be too difficult to DIY

 

Yea that's what I want it for. Patio furniture, Grill, and a small fire pit ftw!

 

yep ...


randy, you should trench out the area ... lay some locking patio bricks and call it a day.

 

yeh, i think you might be able to handle doing that yourself

 

I've taken that into consideration too. I'm sure I could rent one of those jackhammers to break up the existing patio. Then just dig the area I want concreted, line everything up and put down a wood frame, fill it with concrete and smooth it out.

I'm just worried about fucking up. h:

 

you could probably just go over the old patio with concrete :dunno:

 

it's just ground. you cant mess up too bad and if you do, just redo it. it's not like a car with moving parts h:

 

what you have now isn't a patio....that's a floor mat :lol:

if i was guessing, i'd say 500-1000 by the time you figure in the prep work, materials & labor :dunno:

i'd definatley agree on the target idea too......that place & lowes have sucked up a major bit of my disposible income since i got my new place :hahano:
