This weekend's project

This weekend Kelly, Darcy, Lori and Cheri came over and added a deck to my back yard, replacing the craptastic back steps I’ve had for three years!  That porch was tiny, Jade and I would be able to stand on the “deck” but we’d both have to step to the top step to open the door!  Poor dog, she’s been beaned in the head quite a few times!  And more than one person has fallen down the steps when they were wet, myself included.

 

I mentioned to Kelly a week or so ago that I needed a new deck and was getting an estimate.  She piped up and said, I can do that!  So she did!  Kelly asked another gal from LRGH if she wanted to help, and not even knowing ME, Lori said yes. 

 

So after 12 hours, 3 trips to Lowe’s, one trip to Aubachon, 1 Dunkin’s run, a trip to the library to get the plans, a subway run and a Little Caesar’s trip; we finished the most AWESOME, totally RAD, wicked COOL, PERFECT deck!!!

 

What do you think?  The before and after pictures have been included.  You can use the big rock and the hanging basket as points of reference!
