Creating the most of a space and getting easy access could sometimes call for a new sliding door? For the DIY's out their i would suggest to consider a few basic's, to keep the cost down and give long life to your project. Make sure if your removing a wall for this the structure will still remain stable, this may require you to fit a lintel and strengthen surrounding walls? It's also important to think about your water proofing, so having a small step down and using flashing's will help here.
Also if you have an ugly(busy) corner in a covered area, a small broom cupboard could be a good way to tidy it up? This one even use's a leftover door, see pic's:)

Following up on my last post, the clients of the exposed concrete aggregate wanted a carport cover. So keeping there budget and location in mind i got to work on a" lean to" style cover all so know as flat or skillion roof(see pic's).
This is the most simplest, light wight and cost effective open plan cover you could do for yourself. But you'll need to be aware of council requirements as this cover work's well in a non-cyclonic locations. To achieve a open plan style in a cyclonic area you'll need a lot more bracing(see pic of gable roof open carport). Some of the bracing here come's from 200mm round post's berried up to 3.4m's below the surface(it was also on a hill).

Here's a little project i done recently, the clients liked the exposed concrete aggregate in the new to be built carport they wanted the same in there enclosed patio(see pic's).
While this all came up quiet well if you or a friend are not to flash with a concrete screed, i would highly recommend getting in least one professional. After all you get but one crack at producing a good surface and bigger area's need to be calculated right. In these couple i did all the prep and post work to get the job done at the right price. 15mm chip size is good for outside while 10mm is better inside(for walking barefoot). When you clean off the concrete retardant that was sprayed on after the pour(the day before). Use a water presser blaster-but not to strong or it could tear your nice new surface up:)
