railings yet to come...

'Phase Two' of our deck project is now completed!!! Just in time for a couple weekend BBQ's :) Many heads have turned as they drive by, being that it is a decent size and someone even stopped yesterday & asked John if he'd build a deck for him!

Ethan on the second level - there are three boards past the pillar and then it steps down to the next level (don't think you can see the difference from the photo)

The deck to date... there will be a phase three which will consist of a smaller level and stairs going down into the yard (we need to wait for the yard to be graded though and at least seven loads of 'dirt')

buildin' a deck

Our handy man/woman team has been here this week working on our deck. The wrap around porch was only completed on the front and side by the builder, so John & Darlene have framed in the back portion now and have started laying boards. It's starting to look like something and will be so nice to be able to place a BBQ back there, along with patio furniture etc. We are also doing a second level off of the covered porch, so it will be a nice functional deck when it's finished :) Stay tuned for the completed project!

Here's a pic of the deck going on... very exciting!
