Yes Aaron what you can see through the camera is the finish
product with a roof complete, however, there is an outdoor
dining room just being completed as we speak |

Thats just what we called it when we were building it. Really
it was a raised decking for a verandah. |

The dance floor is an outdoor pergola area not a dance/disco
are as such. It blends in with the environment making it
appropriate |
