Deck

Our deck - 24' X20' and wonderful for entertaining in the warmer months. However, like much of the house and yard, it had been neglected for years. In the winter Fred removed the improperly installed railing, fixed the steps and recently filled a large hole in the deck where a tree was growing up through the deck. This week, in preparation for our housewarming party, we finally re-stained the deck and added a bench.

Before-


After-


Fred built the 20' bench to run along the deck side. He plans to build a full-length step-down for the back and a walk up ramp on the side eventually.

My mother and I re-stained the deck in Padre Brown. The deck will eventually need to be stripped completely and re-stained- but for now, this will do.
