We finally made the move and enlisted the help of a couple handy friends to extend our deck out over a place where the grass never grows anyway. So now we have these 4x4s sticking up at all heights, and we need to figure out the railings. But the deck is great fun; we've eaten our first two meals out there, grilled our first steaks. Enjoying it immensely, cramming in the deck time before, all too soon, the cold winds blow and we're sweeping leaves - then shoveling you-know-what - off the surface.

we don't have to talk about "you know what" yet, do we??? lovely deck! where was the pic at the top of your blog taken?
I remember when you built the original deck. Looks like you almost doubled the size of the deck. Of course, the hot tub did sort of take over the old deck.
You do remember what we used to say about building a deck, based on history in the group? Expecting...?
Yep it looks a little weird now- but I'm sure when it's done you will spend hours out there. You may even be grilling steaks in minus degree temps like we do this winter. ;D
Yeah, we're already using the deck a lot - I just nearly fell asleep sitting out there after a morning of painting.
Reliv: The picture is up above the clouds on the Blue Ridge parkway, up in the mountains. Those clouds just kinda rolled in for a photo opp.
Gary: yes, the original deck resulted in the birth of our second born. (Cause and effect? Doubt it) Maybe the extension will affect, um, someone else..
I will look forward to a grilled meal next trip. Deck looks great.
