I had a courtyard built at our old house that I enjoyed many a cigar in. Our new place has a patio, but it gets all the afternoon sun. Early evening is my favorite smoking time. I don't mind the 105-110 summer heat so much, but that setting sun is blinding when you're sitting on the patio.
I decided I need a new courtyard in the front of the house where I can relax in the shade in the late afternoon / early evening.
So, this week construction started on Bill's new smoking area.
