Thanks so much all, I will go with T&D. Their quote for a 8' x 12' plus permit was around $1,000. Elevatorman thanks for your info- very helpfu. I am now considering an 8 x 10 based on your comment, that size might just work for me. I'll line off the area and put 2 chairs out there which is all I want to put out there on the few occasions I want some sun. Don't plan to put a grill or leave any chairs out there permanently, just catch some sun once in a while.
