It was quite a tough project. We have been planning it since 2005 and finally last 2011 we started this project. I can't imagine the hard work exerted by hubby during the making of our double purpose patio/garage. It is almost 60 square meters and it cost some fortune, but we are happy that it is finally done now.

The most difficult part of the making was the removal of the previous patio, the digging of the soil and the laying of the foundation. Since our old patio has thick concrete flooring and it is not level to our home floor plan, we actually hired a company for the excavation and waterproofing process. If you are living in Canada, you can hire
waterproofing ottawa to do this services for you. I believed they can truly help you with any home and garden projects.
Since hubby is also a mason and knows a lot about home repairs and improvement, he did most of the jobs during the building of our patio/garage. During his off days from work, he spent his time doing this project.

We planned everything during the building of this project. The materials to use, the roofing, sidings and flooring were planned ahead. After over a year of building it, we already harvested the fruit of our labors now. No more cleaning of snow during winter times, no more standing on the rain after putting out grocery items from inside the car. The best thing is during summer times, we can drink and enjoy a cup of coffee outside while chit-chatting.
We are truly happy with this home improvement we did two years ago. It cost a lot of money but it was all worth it.
