My New Deck or "he who never gets his way" still doesn't.

My new deck started with the new french doors.

           They leaked.... 
The company came out 3 times to try and fix them.
                         
 The last guy said ... "You need an bigger over hang with the handicapped threshold." " It's always gonna leak it's a design flaw that we never got right." 







After my WT Flock moment and a few choice words, about that info would have been nice to have up front. 

I told hubs who had his own WTF moment... and a few more choice words....He called a few people and got a bid on a roof  to go over the deck on the back of the house...

Here sits the roof just waiting on the contractor to come and put it together... 

Much more to it then you would think .... he cut into the roof and extended the eves and made sure the slope would drain water or what ever the term is... did good work no leek and 4 good rains and one crazy wild storm... since and dry as a bone.....

Bit of a drop so we used this for a day or two.

One thing lead to another and he decided we need a new deck... So the old one got torn out and the roof got built and now he is single handily building my new deck.
                    

Way to go hubby.  

Day one.... hubs was thinking .....I'll put screen under the deck in case some day we want to screen in the deck making it a porch.

Day four... I had things going on and didn't get to sneak pictures for a few days...

George thinks it all for him...  

hubs got the light in ...→

Because bear foot ballerina Erin won't be little long. 

The things I see in clouds can not be explained easily. I'm not sure they should, but I took a picture on the 4th  of  July... that looked like the statue of  liberty..to me.  Her hair is a hot mess but she's been through a lot lately. Or could that be the Goddess with her arms open wide saying ...." Love you , nice deck"






David and Matt put in the ceiling for us as we are old and the play wood is killer heavy even with the lift thingie Matt rented. 

Looking  good with the rails up and the lattice around the bottom
Please notice the picture at the here↓ The two things next to the dish are solar panels for lights, 
                                                               ↓ cool right. 

 

Wonders of wonders ... Lowe's came through with the chairs for me. I didn't think they would ... our Lowe's stinks. 

I put the chairs together...




and hubs made the tables to go with them... he also 




put together my new grill. It cooks like a dream.  I did a Tri-Tip that melted in your mouth. 


and hubs is now building a table and benches for the yard. 

Don't you love the smaller version of the hand crafted table... & how about my rail table we are still looking for bar stool height chairs so we can sit at them. I keep my binoculars on one. 

Dad is almost finished with the steps just need to put the hand rail on and we are good to go.




So after all the hair pulling and name calling (the french door) the leek is fixed and I have a wiz-bang of a deck. 

He said he's not done ....... 
             Next on his list is a pond with a fountain and lights on solar.

*****  UP DATE ON THE BACK YARD *******

New pictures of the steps and he who never gets his way finished the table and benches and mixed and pored a 10 X 10 pad for it to sit on... 

                 LOVE IT! 

Now if the rain would stop I could use it

I think I may need new siding. Hummm?
