my uncle and his wife built a log cabin after that was finished they built a two story tool shed that has a small apartment in it, then the built a garage, then they built a summer kitchen. All of they built almost by their selves and paid as they went. All of it in logs and is just beautiful. See my blog about my g.ma's 93 birthday and you can see some pics of the summer kitchen.

I have a small covered area outside the sliding glass doors out back. The red brick paver patio starts at the back door and extends out 15 feet. The covered area is only 4 feet deep and about 8 feet long. I have lace curtains enclosing it with 2 chairs, log table, a big pot of white nancy and another with a big hosta and fern. A couple of hanging houseplants, hanging candles, large windchime and a hummingbird feeder. I hung a garden picture and a clock on the wall (the clock is mainly so I'm not late for work).
Then I have a garden bench further in the back yard next to the stream and pond and it's fenced off from the neighbors and from our own dogs.
And now I'm building another one on the north side of our house where we have a door from our bedroom going out to it. It's a rectangular area about 25 feet by 40 feet that's set into the "L" shaped part of our house. I'm going to plant forsythia on the 2 sides open to the neighbors and the street. I have rocks and black fabric layed out so that there is an oval of grass in the middle big enough to put a table and 2 lounge chairs. The black fabric will be covered with good dirt and manure and planted with medicinal herbs; Whatever I can get my hands on. When it's all done and the bushes have grown, I plan to take my tea out there in the morning in just my jammies and enjoy the sunrise and the birds.
