We have been dreaming if a deck on the back of our house since the moment we moved in 7+years ago. And we Drew had the plan to build one, but well, life kind of took over. We spend the first few years furnishing our house, then Bella came, which meant we had to finish the basement, and then Aubrey. Considering we are still working to complete her room, I know, I know, this deck was long over due. And we are so excited about it.
Thankfully Drew is quite the handyman, a hidden talent he has discovered since we got married way back when, and he has built a deck and fence before with the help of my dad and uncle when we lived in our condo.
This time though, he didn't have help.
It was just Drew, and his tools. And me, the water girl. ;)
The framing took an entire 3 day weekend, and then a few evenings the following week.
But then it was time to screw on the boards--which is when B was SUPER DUPER excited to help.
Then there was the stairs from the backdoor to the deck.
And then the railing.
Since then he has added some benches…
These aren't quite finished though, so that will come later.
Pretty proud of my hubby's design, and the endless number of hours he has put toward making this deck happen. So looking forward to utilizing this new outdoor space in the months ahead!
