Remember way back in the winter when I posted about our deck. Here is what it looked like way back when.

And my sketch of what I hoped it would look like.

Well, after what seemed like several months of construction (mind you, my GC estimated a 1.5 week time frame to complete the deck), it is pretty much done.

In this pic you can see my dining table project taking place in the background.

Our sod has been planted in the back yard so we no longer have a forest of poison ivy and I’ve even managed to plant a little container herb garden outside the kitchen door. Yay for summer barbeques!
