So much for R&R over Spring break
The hubby worked us to death over the weekend
Our deck has officially been started
The first thing we had to do was take down the fence
It worked for it's purpose; it kept the kids in the yard while they were little
I was so happy to see it gone
The fence posts are going to have to wait for another day
The ground is still to hard and frozen
When we realized we couldn't do any more with the fence, the hubby suggested starting on the deck
Take a look at that nasty wood
The deck should have been replaced 8 years ago but it's not a deck we've really used so it got put off
We are reusing some of the deck {braces and posts}
Thankfully, the braces holding the deck are in good shape because they run under the house
I'm not sure what we would do if they needed replaced
We will be getting new decking, spindles and railing
We are adding onto the deck so all of that part will be new
The spindles that are on the deck now would never meet up to code
Chip can stick his head through them and it would be a 10 ft. drop onto cement
I will jump for joy when the boys can go on the deck and I won't have to worry
This is the most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time
Brand new treated pine decking
We have a long way to go but it's going to be worth it
Big City Clean Up is next month and our goal is to have all the old wood off the deck by then
