A Patio Roof to Pass the Test
Episode DTTR-310F
Kathy and Nelson Husser wanted to make their patio area more comfortable and shield their Phoenix home from the heat. They built a patio cover that accomplished both tasks -- but failed the building inspection. After removing the roof, there is nothing but posts and beams and the remains of a botched cover. DIY to the Rescue will help the Hussers finish the project and find a place in the shade.
