It's finally happening

We are getting a new deck!!! The old one was in horrible shape and just needed to be ripped down and replaced...so that is what is happening this week They started on Monday by ripping down the old deck and starting the framing. Yesterday they started the cross supports and setting the posts. Today they have cemented the posts and are completing the cross supports. We will probably have decking getting laid before the day is out!! I'm just a little excited.



This is what it looks like from my doorway looking out into the east side of the yard. The small green "nubby" that is sticking out from the wall is where the old deck stopped. This deck is considerably larger than the old one. It will be 10' deep and 34' wide across the back of the house.







This is the other end of the deck. It goes about 4 foot past where the old deck stopped on this side. The stairs will come down the side and across the front. We're going to put decorative brick from the front of the stairs to the concrete in the back so you don't have to walk on grass. I am so excited to get this deck done. We'll have enough room to have people over.....for the TTs to sit on the deck and play or color. They will finally be able to sit outside and I won't have to worry about the deck being unsafe. Plus it will be prima party space man!!!

I'll post more pics when it is done...they are framing up the stairs as I type...so it should be done by friday!!!
