Damn done
The deck. It is FINALLY done -- except for finishing the trim on the windows we had to replace and weatherizing the new door. Chris asked for time to finish it up for his birthday, so Tristen and I made that happen -- along with a shirt, a belt sander, and rootbeer floats. Happy birthday, Krumm! :)
Below, pix of the finished product -- more than a year's hard labor after two years in the squabbling and planning phase. There's a high deck for grilling, a patio for enjoying the yard, a gate to keep the kiddos in, and an arbor so that we can nurture grapes, hops, passion flower, and just a bit of privacy.

Now, doesn't it seem like a great space for a hot tub where the two decks meet?
