Here is what it looked like before Handiman Richard pressure washed, took down pool cage, and modified gate. I had always thought I would rescreen the lanai, but it's quite a bit of work/pretty expensive, and after six years, I realized I really don't need the screen after all.

I guess I didn't realize how abandoned it looked out there until mom had the idea to renovate! (Her bedroom overlooks the lanai, so she made it happen!)

What a difference, already! I trimmed the crown of thorns back a bit so Richard could paint behind.

Then I stained the concrete. Pretty simple. Just one coat.

My girl is always by my side!

After 24 hours of dry time, Otis tried it out.

Then I gave it a quick rinse and moved the furniture back into place.

And tidied up the plants.

Added marble chips behind the chairs to cover that ugly pipe.

I even washed the window! And laundered the chair fabric. And finally, scrubbed the grill cover.

And returned the shelled ones back to their space, cozy in the sun.
