Getting Started on the Deck!

The arrival of this incredible weather has enabled us to start work on our outdoor living space sooner than we anticipated. Chris has been working diligently at leveling out the terrain around the house and bringing topsoil up to encourage grass growth where the deck will end and lawn will begin.

So here's the plan, the East side (front) and South side of the house will have 10' wide full length deck wrapping around to the West side (entry) where the deck will be approx 4 1/2 ' wide with a pergola on the East side to not only add a shady escape, but mostly to add and eye pleasing attribute to a currently blank canvas. All will be done in pressure treated deck board and expertly crafted by my brother Jason, we are SO lucky to have been able to hire him for this project!
If all goes well, construction should commence on Monday!!
