The deck!

This was our back terrace (the southern third, at least) BEFORE:

After much hard work, reading, researching, lugging, building, swearing, screwing, drilling, bruising, cutting, sneezing, tripping, fingernail chipping, and dancing, here is the AFTER:

Looks just a little bit different, huh?

I still need to stain and sand the deck, and the gate hardware is on it's way... so there will be a few more photos. But still-- you get the idea. Siiigh! So relaxing. :)

  1. Where is the patio cover from?

  2. Hi Erin-- The cover is from Costco. It's amazing how much prices go up when you switch from canvas covers to hard-topped covers, but we're happy with the result. The top is semi-transparent (it's not clear-- it's like sunglasses), and therefore, we get light still into our kitchen.

  4. Hm, it looks like it's not. It's called the Madrid Gazebo, and we have the hard-top one. It is available online at a few places.
