We took down the old decrepit shed, now we've got our sights set on the little deck off the slider. Diana has been dreaming of a large sprawling deck since before we even bought a house. She had visions of laying out in a backyard soaking up the rays on a beautiful large deck. The one this house has is woefully inadequate for her needs! With a little financial help from Diana's mom and David, we hired someone to come over to frame out a gigantic 20 feet by 24 feet deck- now that sounds more like what Diana had been dreaming about! With the deck framer coming, we needed to remove the deck that's there. It's really small, only about five feet by seven. And rotten. It's hardly big enough for one chair, so we aren't going to miss it at all! I set to work tearing it all down, including the posts. It was an even easier job than expected. It was rotten so bad that it kind of fell apart as soon as I hit it with a hammer. The posts were only about one foot deep as well, so I had the whole thing taken apart in no time.
We are having a guy come and build out the frame for us and then Papa is coming over to help with the actual decking.
