I finally got around to taking some pictures of the mostly complete deck. The reason that I am finally getting around to it and the reason it is mostly complete really is the same reason......it’s been raining here for 5 days solid. Yeah! for the earth, not so great for being outside. I still can’t believe that we have a deck out back. We had been talking about building one for so long (2 years) and it is amazing that we got it up.....and quickly too! It would never have happened if not for our brother’s in law Lane and Kellen who came and stayed the weekend and worked their butts off to get it done. So a huge thank you to them!!! Dan has a few more things that he would like to do like building flower boxes and of course cleaning up the back yard which is currently a HUGE disaster area. We are also going to get some more patio furniture because the deck is humongous at 20 x 30 feet. And in time we’d like a new BBQ and a fountain or something, but those are things we can take our time to purchase. I am so proud of my husband. Watching him draw up the plans and dealing with the red tape to get permits and working so hard to build this deck for our family. He is an amazing man, a wonderful carpenter and a great provider for his family. Alright.....enough gushing......enjoy the pictures of our (and when I say our I mean Dan and the boy’s) deck building journey!
Dan digging holes for the support beams
Dan and Lane mixing and pouring concrete
And the deck building begins with the frame going up
Deck boards being screwed in
Just a few more to go
Just a man and his deck
The grand stairway.....6 feet wide
Deck from the side
Deck from the back
The doggies LOVE the new deck!
