The Full Story
Outside
Florida is all about being outside, and I see many zero lot line homes that totally ignore the outside space. I don't do like that. I have a huge canvas with the Hope property and I intend to use it.
Hot Boxes
First order of business was to remove these hot boxes. Aluminum siding, zero insulation, walking through these reminded me of Dante's Inferno. Sawzall and a dumpster did the trick.
Spare and Boring
Once the hot boxes were removed we could see the actual building, and even freshly painted it was a snooze fest to look at. This is going to take some work I thought.
Pergolas
So we put up cedar pergolas with 303 stainless hardware. The same stuff they use on sailboats. The Pergolas were basically sketched in dirt, and Dave Smith laughed at me, shook his head and got to work. What he created are amazing pieces to sit and admire. They did an excellent job of breaking up a boring sitting area.
