Out with the Old, In with the New!

This year has been a roller coaster of a ride. Starting in March, we dismantled our old upper deck and cleared out stuff underneath for a bottom deck. It took us 6 months, but in August of this year, we finished and now have a new beautiful upper and lower deck! It took many hours, but it’s finished and man, do we love it.

Now, I say, bring on the holidays!! OH, and next project is new kitchen cabinets, counters, and bathroom tile!! And, next spring, new landscaping with square foot gardening, revamped flower gardens, and maybe even a deck slide for the grandkids!

We got our work cut out for us!

Enjoy the extra hour of sleep, (for those who come off D.S.T. ) come tonight!
