We Built a Deck

Before

 We've been talking about building a deck in our front yard for years.  In spring it would be nice to sit out front in the warm afternoon sun rather than the shady backyard.  On hot summer days it gets smoking hot out front and we'll use the back deck.

We put it off last year because of the price of lumber.  This year lumber is even more expensive but we can't wait forever.  So let the deck building begin.

Day 1:

Leo is jackhammering out the old asphalt.  Deck guru Mark is placing the cement blocks.  Henry is supervising.
Day 2:

Concrete block foundations set in ground and some of the struts are in place.


Day 3:
 

Struts are all in and concrete poured by the garage door

Day 4:

Decking is down and they added an extra triangle over toward the trailer.

Now all that is needed is the railings and some patio furniture!  I see a deckwarming party in our future.
