Deck

This past weekend Chris, the kids, and I went to Georgia to work on the house. We needed to redo the deck, and so Chris took a couple days off work and we went. We stayed in our empty house and slept on air mattresses and in sleeping bags. It was a long few nights, but we survived. The kids were ready to come home, seeing as we have no television, toys, or things to do except watch Chris and I work. We did get to see some good friends and play with them, so it was alright. This is a before picture of the deck. I don't know which is worse, the color or the shabby shape it was in! Here is the same corner after. It is a pretty good size deck, about 20x12, so we had a lot of work to do,but it looks great. Now we just need a buyer!
