Finished, Kinda, Sorta

The carpenters are gone. All that's left is the deck and a bit of a mess in the yard, which DH is working on now. Can't paint or stain for a while, it needs to dry or something.

I didn't realize how big it was going to be. Of course, better to have it too big than too small, right? I'm a happy camper!

 

Children of the corn?

I sent the pictures to our youngest and he asked why we were starting a 'Children of the corn cult' in the back yard. Funny boy!
No, actually, we are getting a deck put on, straight out from the door. No more slippery steps in the rain or ice, no more tripping over that crack in the slab. The guy is going to put in a wheelchair ramp as long as he's at it. We don't 'need' it yet, but it can't hurt, as long as he's building it. 

 We'll put the walker 'garage' by the door to be handy. He broke the one door, when they were moving it. It may not be too hard to repair. The deck will be wide enough for a table and chairs, and the grill with a server cabinet on the south end. The end where the ramp will be, will have space for the little 'garage' and the rolling garbage can. I'm sure it will also end up being a catch-all space as well ...
He's hoping to finish up this weekend, and then DH can start staining it. (The guy works a job and does his building for a couple hours after work. I think DH said his wife has cancer.)
