They spent more than $100,000 renovating their backyard with a new synthetic deck, masonry, a whirlpool and a pool waterfall, so $6500 more for Mr. Petrullo to have a brick sanctuary with a Cal Spas grill as its central alter seemed like nothing. “I told him to just go for it,”” Ms. Petrullo said. “And get your dream barbecue.” |
