Getting better and better

You might be sick of hearing about it, but our deck keeps getting better and better! Yesterday we got the permit approval from the city for the deck and they didn't find anything wrong! Then today Mike and I put up the facia on the deck! It really gives it a great finished look, but honestly it is the only part of the deck I was hoping I wouldn't have to help with because the strain my muscles felt being fully extended to hold up boards for hours. :) We're both pretty burned out on this project, but we love the result. Since we're too late this year we'll focus on getting the yard done next year, but we've been so thankful to have the cement pad while we've worked. I also included some before and after photos because it is so amazing to be DONE!! The kids love playing in the back and it is so reassuring to know that they are safe now...as long as you don't get to close to Savannah and the hammer.  ;-)
