Yes, more deck photos

It is such a big project I just have to journal the progress! The addition of stairs was a milestone. You know what they say, " measure twice, cut once," Karl said it was quite a process to the measurements right.

Karl and I worked on a Rainy Saturday morning by ourselves to secure boards across the top, but the first thing we had to do was get the canvas covering on our shade 'gazebo' so we could put the saw and work table under some protection from the rain.

Tucked just under the stairs is the slide I ordered to attach next to the stairs.

It is looking great. I have been researching deck stain and to my surprise you are supposed to wait a year to allow the wood to cure before staining. I had no idea. So we won't be staining it right away. I have to get some bids on railings next.
