Building The Deck


We started over Labor Day weekend and I naively had the idea that it would be done just like that...oh how wrong i was! We had a lot of help that weekend from Cris, Jamie and Steve.
This is Cris making sure the dirt around the posts was packed nice and tight!

Chris cutting the joists


the kids making potions
there was a LOT of nailing that weekend...I hope everyone's wrists have recovered since.

she is reading her operating manual for her new camera. I didn't know anyone actually read those!

it's blurry...but I love when he makes this face.

the frame is all up and ready to go



pretty sunset
he is so loving all this construction. he plays in the dust and dirt all day long!


part way done

after almost 2 weeks...the finished product!

I LOVE this 45 thing he did here...it looks so nice..and the deck is the perfect height to add some more "seating" to the conversation pit...

thanks for everyone's help. it took a while, but we got it done...aside from staining it (which we'll do when we're done with everything else) the entire outside it done!
