10_19_2010 Backyard/Deck Rennovation Begins!


Guy came to the door to remind me I wanted photos of the deck before it was wrecked. Glad he did! He'd removed a wee bit of stuff (as seen in the trailer) already.

The more he tore out the better it looked! As in all activities like this, some surprises were found beneath the old deck: dead Mourning Dove (shown in 4th and 5th photo - ew), plastic hammer, giant lego piece. Sadly no jewels, gold or money was recovered.

A bit more pounding, pulling and carrying and the deck and stairs were gone. Wow! It looks good. I think now he has to do come ground leveling and the new lower deck can start going in.

We opted to go with treated lumber for the new deck. We considered Trex (and similar materials) but ultimately I think we both felt better about real wood. It's going to look awesome!

When all was said and done, the trailer was piled to the roof. What a relief to get that out of here!
