The first project I decided we were going to work on was the deck. Since it has not been too hot outside and Savannah loves playing outside on her swing set, the backyard deck was a priority. This is a picture of the deck before.
Ricky's parents were a huge help in putting this deck together. We would not have been able to do it without their help. We started on Mother's Day weekend and the whole project took about 4 weekends in a row to complete. Rick used the set up from the old deck and added more frame work for a bottom, extended layer. Ricky did most of the laying new boards down and screwing them down tight. He did a good job and actually learned some and enjoyed it at the same time.
This was one of the weekends, we were both off and we both got to work on the deck together. I think we were in competition here to see who could get done first. The next picture is the completed project. We are enjoying some time with family and friends. All we need now is some patio furniture.
Rick is cooling off in Savannah's pool after all his hard work. We love our new deck and hope to have many opportunities enjoying it.
