DIY Patio Makeover | Before and After with a Pergola

[@ΚΑΤΕΡΙΝΑΠΙΤΣΙΟΥ]

I will agree with the old table that it was really ungly . I love the screen that you made and the planter box , i love flowers . Nice job !!!! So many projects to see !!!

[@Toolboxdiva]

Hahaha! YES! That table was horrible! Thank you so much for taking the time out to watch my friend's patio makeover. His backyard now looks completely different.

[@tabacgebril9025]

Good Morning from France 🇫🇷, i like your job, it is an inspiration for me. Thank you very much.

[@paulakelley4845]

Love that you showed the good with the bad! Excellent job and sense of humor.

[@Toolboxdiva]

Thank you so much

[@annie68ish]

Love that you did it yourself. As a DIYer myself, it’s prudent to understand that things online aren’t realistic for timelines and time. The weed prevention and clothe we’re really good ideas. Do it myself... but leveling the ground first is a really good idea beforehand. In the end, I really like the results of your DIY.

[@thatandthese]

Love the way you show real stuff... and hard times, not just pretty things! It turned out great.

[@Toolboxdiva]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad to hear that you liked seeing both. I was torn over whether or not I should show that part so I really appreciate it.

[@nadinecius8747]

Big difference. Very inviting now. You are an awesome friend(nothing would get me out in 100 degree heat).

[@Toolboxdiva]

Thank you Nadine! Hahaha I got some work out of him. He had to help me with my backyard after we finished his. That post will be coming soon.

[@MMm-gz6eu]

Beautiful!!!!! Thank you for sharing 👍

[@hungtrinh8898]

Im a guy and I don’t know anything bout building patio, fixing kitchen faucets, etc....this video is good learning and yes I subcribed

[@Toolboxdiva]

Wow thank you so much 💕! I really appreciate your support.

[@fitnlite]

You're awesome and such a good friend! Thanks for posting

[@lovingmayberry2000]

Love this and really appreciate you including the mistakes too! 💙👍

[@mariafriend644]

You can attach that planter to pergola to give it additional stability. Great idea!!

[@giseliapereira5914]

Awesome job! The hard times are normal for DIYers lol The easy part comes with experience.

[@suedexter9557]

You are really talented and love your attitude!

[@east928]

Love the louvered portion!! Great video.

[@KM-nq7ez]

Love the Pergola!!! Very nice makeover, what gorgeous grounds he has.., Everything is so green and healthy looking!

[@Toolboxdiva]

Thank you so much! Yes he takes really good care of his lawn 😊

[@reenougle]

Everything is fantastic and I am starting to make the planter. Table top fire pit? Mind blown. Been there done that when in the middle of a project you realize you need more people!. Sigh.

[@dawnross644]

DIY at its finest !! Bravo, Sweat Equity !!! Beautiful!!! I’m working on rescreening porch by myself at 62. So, I understand hands needed !!

[@Toolboxdiva]

Thank you so much! Yes having the extra support is a lifesaver. Best of luck with your porch project.

[@marlyndelo5101]

Just found your channel, love the name! I loved the levelers on the pergola, I have never seen that before, I thought it added a fun and practical touch to the pergola. The planter boxes would be lovely with bold flowers in them. Great job! Thank you for keeping it real, project never go as plan. If you can persevere through all the set backs, you'll be able to stand back in the end and enjoy the fruits of your. labor.

[@Toolboxdiva]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words and feedback. You're right it does give me a sense of pride when I look at it.

[@sandreawhite7534]

It looks great. You have energy girl!

[@sandrawidboom9135]

What a friend, love the screen, actually love it all. I’m not sad that table broke, I have one and don’t like mine either. Great job.

[@Toolboxdiva]

Thank you!

[@SammyB7]

[@mdamato94]

Gorgeous transformation! I am very inspired to be more handy!! I wish I could steal you and have you help me with my dream for my backyard!

[@sellingroanoke]

[@Toolboxdiva]

Thank you so much! It was a lot of work but all worth it in the end for sure 😊

[@kellylynn9163]

Love how everything turned out!

[@vvaningen]

Nice! Thanks for sharing! I'm a creative but have always been amazed by those who do woodworking. My dad was an excellent carpenter, but I just never could figure out how to work with this medium.. You made it seem easy! But I know it's not. Lol! Thanks, again!

[@Toolboxdiva]

Thank you so much! You would be surprised by what you could accomplish. Its all about problem solving.

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

Great job on this project! I’m glad I found your channel! Thanks!!

[@Toolboxdiva]

Thank you so much 💕

[@johnmccarthy6686]

ToolBox Divas my wife and I really like your content - great job. You should have your own TV show, because you have such a warm and genuine personality. There are so many who try and fake that, but you just have it. Keep it up and we’ll be watching from Canada! All the best.

[@glendaruff125]

Turned out really nice.

[@angiejordan6454]

First off, you're gorgeous. Second, hubs and I are about to make this pergola. We were looking for one with really specific dimensions and this seems like the best solution!

[@julipolito7761]

It never goes as expected! But, it looks beautiful! 👍

[@Toolboxdiva]

Ain't that the truth 😊thank you so much! At least it was all worth the trouble

[@Paula_Shelton]

Looks amazing! These jobs are always harder than you think they will be but you did an awesome job!

[@Toolboxdiva]

Thank you so much! You are so right! Especially when it's outdoors. 😊

[@Tinyteacher1111]

New subscriber, here! I looked through your information and videos, and I could have been more pleased to see that you’re like me in that you aren’t afraid to do things! I also loved all your projects and will go back to try some of your ideas. Glad I found your channel❣️ BTW, I recently moved to this house and tore down a privacy fence of boring wood around my hot tub since I already have a vinyl privacy fence around it, and I wanted to see the yard. Now I’m left with tall posts that I want to use as a base for a pergola, so this is very timely!

[@Toolboxdiva]

Thank you so much and congratulations on your new home ❤️. You will transform your space into an oasis for sure 😊

[@Tinyteacher1111]

ToolBox Divas Thank you! I’ll be sure to stay tuned to see what you are doing next!

[@aaroncox7174]

[@maureenwalsh5454]

Y'all inspire me to build a pergola! Nice job!

[@Toolboxdiva]

Thank you so much! 😀You can totally do this.

[@NS-hj7km]

Wow, you are really motivating me to change my deck into something similar. Thanks!

[@Toolboxdiva]

:D That's awesome! Thank you!! Go for it.

[@Flusenmonster]

Like it very much! The color you used on the wood is very nice. And I`m definitely going to look after that system you used on the pergola. I`m living in Germany, so it probably goes under a different name.

[@diedrapayne6202]

Beautiful Beautiful.

[@valiumk.9489]

It looks great!! I wish I can have my pergola up this summer, and you've given me some nice ideas. Thank you!!

[@Toolboxdiva]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad I was able to provide some inspiration. You can totally do this in your own backyard for sure 😊

[@valiumk.9489]

@@Toolboxdiva unfortunately I don't have a backyard, it's rather rare here in Athens, Greece, but I do have a huge veranda, so with a few adjustments, I think it'll look great. Thanks again and have a great day!! 😊

[@markdiloreto9042]

great job and thorough review.....you are a wonderful friend to have!!!!! God Bless

[@TexasRose50]

First off, you are so cute! You remind me of the young single mother that lives next door to us. And second, way to go girl! Awesome job! And I love it cause you said y'all had problems. That's reality of almost any project(for me anyway). I have a favorite t shirt I wear a lot. It has a picture of Rosie the Riviter on the front, and around it says "Never underestimate the power of a woman." My husband's favorite words to me are..."you are something else." I'm always doing projects that astound him. Lol! Makes me feel good. He taught me a lot, he use to be a contractor. I love building or restoring things. Anyway, sorry to get carried away. I will be looking forward to watching more of your videos. And keep up the good work. 👍🏻

[@Toolboxdiva]

Oh my Goodness thank you so much! You are so right. Never underestimate the power of a woman.🤗
