Is there a heating/air guy in the house?

probably wouldn't look too bad if you build something around it to hide...lattice work, maybe grow a vine-like plant to cover the lattice

So I have spent 2 years going to Menards, Home Depot designing my deck(computers are a beautiful thing). The latest plans have a nice cutout for a grill, and a circular cutout for our patio table. It has an entrance on one side of the deck, and another entrance to the back yard. It looks pretty damned nice. Cost is $1700 in materials. Not that bad at all. Cant wait to have estimates on the cost of building this.

I am sure I will tell more than one contractor to go fuck himself.
Contactors are no better than car saleman.

When we moved in to the house, Kathy says: We can make that Gazebo look nice, and have a backyard wedding.

I look at Kathy and say: I was thinking of running the thing over with my car.

Ok here we go.
The 1st pic it shows, or just click the top pic on the right.
If I were to build something like this, but only have 1/2 attached to the house, and as you look at the pic, the left hand side would come off the house 4-6ft or so, then continue on. How ridiculous would that look?

1- Move the condenser as the noise will drive you to boot heroin to stop the piercing fan noise
2- The deck would never look correct if you build around the ac unit
3- I will be moving 2 3 ton condensers from the back patio to the side yard as the noise in the summer on the upper deck is just a nuisance and when I built 10 years ago i cut corners to get done faster and now regret the placement for mostly noise reasons.
4- Remember to recover the r-22 as the ozone may explode if you just dump the gas.
5- The 1 benefit to shit canning the old unit and going new is that the new federal mandate requires all new ac equipment to be 13 s.e.e.r. or more energy efficient, so you'll save money in the long run and also the new units no longer use r-22 , but now use more environmentally friendly gas.
So something to think about.
GOOD LUCK

Or I just build a patio, and say "Fuck It All!!!"

why don't you wrap it around the corner of the house?

You ever see those old victorian houses with the wrap around porch?

Something like that.

i think so...if it were me, i'd probably continue against the house after the a/c...and do the lattice/vine thing i mentioned earlier
