Shane & Janine Mechelke stalked their neighborhood for a year, waiting for the right house to go on the market. Situated just blocks from a chain of scenic urban lakes it's always a hot real estate market. Finally, a 1952 mid-century ranch style home came on the market - and the rest is history. So far, they've transformed the interior of the home with a clean, contemporary style and they'd like to continue that style outdoors. Their plans include: refacing the existing concrete with an aggregate epoxy, adding a patio made of 24 x 24 concrete squares with pebbles between the squares, and building a conduit and cedar contemporary style fence they'll fabricate themselves.
