When I enlarged the patio several years ago, making it 12' wide and 33' long, the full width of the house, I got a city building permit labelled "patio cover" and hoa permission for a patio cover.

The back patio just happens to be on the other side of the wall where I noticed the crack. so I walked outside to see if the patio was cracked.

The finsh look does look good.Second) build a paver patio!

You can't install different windows, better front door, whatever roof you want, patios, fences, awnings, etc, unless they fit the guidelines.

The dishes will need to be installed on our matchbook sized patio on tripods and aimed directly through the lovely row of trees to get the signal(at least for my unit).When I look around at the units 1 out of 4 do not have a satellite dish.

If you can find a plastic mallet this is the best to test the covered sole plate area.
