Holey Crap!!! I've done a few home projects in my day, so I know how much time, effort, planning and flat out work that took to get done!! Nice work. Great vision and way to execute what was obviously a great plan from the start. Fixer upper... lol... I guess so...

That is EXACTLY what I thought Greg, every bit of it! First, "what the heck??", then after seeing the completed pics, "WHAT THE HECK!!!!" Awesome work man!

Okay, so how long did the whole project take, start to finish? And did you have the final rendition of everything in your head before you started or did it just kind of happen along the way?

It took 3-4 months total, though the sunroom was a project I finished before anything else and that was about a month or so. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted because there were no other options for placement of the workshop and pool.

The drainage, which I added a lot of, and the two tiered pavers were something I worked out as I went. So I guess I had about 80% planned in my head and the rest were just adjustments that needed to be made as I went.

For landscaping, I had a rough idea of what I wanted but had to see the construction done before determining what could actually fit where. I wanted to screen the area along the back fence so I still fiddle with that to get the right setup that looks the best while giving me the most natural screening.

Wow, that is great. I would have guessed a whole year to get it done. At least, that's how my home projects go...
