Well, we started building the deck at 4:00 yesterday afternoon. By 6:00 this evening, it was done. Good job, honey! I can help some, but not with everything. Kevin gets something in his head and runs with it, and nobody else knows where it's going. I am so happy. I have wanted this deck since we moved in. It's done now, and broken in. Kevin opened a Diet Coke, and I opened a beer, at the same time, to christen it. Then Mom and Dad and Pat and Charlene came by.
Midday today, we went to WalMart. We had to get groceries, so we checked out the patio furniture. It was overpriced, even on clearance. We gave that up and just got groceries. Then, I suggested we check Big Lot's. It's such a junky store, but sometimes you get lucky. We found an 8-piece set for $62, marked down from $95 or something. A table, umbrella, 4 chairs and two ottomans. Good enough. When we got to the checkout, there was another 20% off! It was a $50 set! WOOOOFREAKINHOOO!
After finishing the project, we called Mom and Dad right away to have them check it out. Never mind the fact that I called them at 6:00 this morning to drink coffee on the unfinished version. They came over, followed shortly by Charlene and Pat. It was a great visit, and we all had a good time.
Now, Kevin is almost too sore to move, and must go to bed. I'm dirty, sore, bug-bitten and sun-burned, and I have to catch a plane at 6:30 in the morning to pick up customers. What a sight we'll be tomorrow! Doesn't matter, though. It's done.
Also, did I mention? I HAVE A DECK!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I'm very impressed with Kevin's carpentry skills. That looks like a hired out job right there! Very nice.

I am so proud for you. I had a nice deck in our house we moved out of in November overlooking the catfish pond. I miss it. I just posted some pics of our Stone Mountain, GA trip.
Blessings!~
