Sounds awesome! We've just finished our back retaining wall & are about to start the deck which like yours will cover the alfresco area and extend out! I'd love to…

Here's a pic of ours for reference, I would get rid of the laminate personally, but if you don't mind it it may be easier to just leave..

Thanks!!! We did have to assure the neighbors that the Adams family hadn't moved in! Have always wanted a dark facade and it has all come together so well!
