deck.done.

my co-worker and friend, caleb, was nice enough to work after hours and build a new deck for us.

our old deck was awful. yes, awful. I kept telling garrett we needed to build a new one (before we painted the upstairs, before we re-carpeted, before we had a child, before we began the basement) but, it was put at the bottom of the list. but, finally, we have a new deck. and i love it!

garrett agreed that we probably needed a new deck long ago after we had to tear  knock over the old deck. it basically fell to the ground with a little push.

we plan to add a patio surrounding the deck after we stain it. i also have 2 big pots full of flowers that will be going on either side of the deck stairs. so excited to hang out in the backyard this summer.

cheers to that!
