Keith and Rita, your home sounds like it is going to be super.  I love the oversized back patio - parties hmmm?  We have a home with a dock on a river in Tampa, it has a large wooden deck out back facing the river with a hottub on it - but unfortunately we can&#39;t use it in the summer because the bugs carry us away.  We could screen it in, but it would lose a lot of the character - so we put tiki torches out there and don&#39;t stay out too long - now in the cooler weather it&#39;s great, and the tub has a heater - so we can enjoy it.
