First of all congratulation for getting a sunny day!
Every day is a blessing!
The rest you said is absolutely right i do not understand people they put a lot of money on the front but don't give a damn to back part of the house, and even after spending so much money their homes would not be looking beautiful!
if you are spending this much on the front part of your home, you should spend at least one forth on the back too!
beleive me this will makes your home more beautiful!
