We have been working on the deck for the last couple weekends and when I say we, I guess I really mean Craig! He has been such a harder worker dedicating his weekends to building us a new deck! Our old deck was two levels and part of it didn't have a railing and just kinda dropped off into our yard. It looked unfinished. Our new deck will be all one level which makes it look so much bigger even though it's the same, it will have railings and a new set of stairs. It's gonna look fantastic when it's all done, which will hopefully be this weekend so we can enjoy it!
Here are some pictures of the new deck in progress:

| Building the frame, being sure that it's square and level so the deck won't be lopsided. |

| Putting in the support joists. Making sure they are sturdy and level! | |

| Craig's dad Kevin was in town and got roped into helping lay the boards : ) The two of them made quick progress! I made chocolate chip cookies to show my appreciation for their hard work. |
The deck is almost complete! Stay tuned for pictures of the final product!!
We (and by that I mean Brian!) just built a deck too! Your post reminded me I should post pictures. We are loving it. Such a great space to have BBQs and hang out. Wish I could see yours in person!
