This project spanned a three year time frame as we constructed a two story craftsman style home with a basement, pool, and pool house. We also built two horse barns, an outdoor riding arena and an indoor riding arena. There was extensive landscaping, including a large pond filled with trout, lots of stone walls and patios and many fenced pastures that altogether created a wonderful estate feel on eleven acres.

Builf the patio or deck first? - We are looking to put an oversized patio under a deck in our backyard but don't know if we should build the deck first and then build the patio around the beams or build the patio first and put the beams on the patio. Thoughts? »

This is what I originally wanted at Martha Lake. This would be nice for Lake Tapps because it would give us a bigger undercover area and we could add a fireplace
