Decks
June 10, 2010
The house we bought in 2002 came with this crazy 3-level deck, part of which—a ramp leading to the sort-of attached garage—was covered by a very sloped little roof. No part of the deck was really quite large enough to be useful for entertaining or relaxing, so it became kind of a storage space for plants, a potting table, recyclables, plastic chairs, etc. I don’t think I was able to get my husband to spend more than one or two short spells out on the deck during the entire eight years that it existed!

Our replacement deck got framed in yesterday. It’s so amazing how much bigger it looks in person than on paper! The size is almost exactly the same size as our living room(!) It is less sq. ft. than our old nearly unusable three-part deck, yet seems much bigger. Magic!

I never liked the tri-level deck that came with our house; then last year the hail damaged our siding and deck, so now we are getting ready for new siding, a new deck, and someday, a garden. The photo above is Circa 2002; just after we bought our house.
