it had to go...

 One of the things we love about our home


 is the big beautiful deck & tall trees in the back yard.
 It is so fun to eat & play outside.
 But.... the deck is old now.
 It was built long, long, even really long... before we moved in.
 We kept up the paint etc. but it is time- time for it to go. Several spots have started to rot out.
 Yep- it's gotta go.
Brett & Trent spent Friday & Saturday tearing it out and- next week 
(ha ha, that's what the builder says- but we shall see?) 
new stairs and railings will be built & a new cement patio will be poured.
We are really excited!



Our back yard is already looking so much bigger.



The big boys have real jobs so it was just Brett & Trent for this job.
Thank goodness for Trent- he has really been a big help.


It's a long way down from the back door- EEK!
Thank goodness they left the back steps from the other back door- yes there are two.
I am terrified someone will forget & in the middle of the night step out & break their legs!
So we have the kitchen table pushed up against the door.
Wish me luck-- you gotta know I'm kind of a klutz.  


Let's all cross our fingers that our builder comes sooner than later!

I am super excited and jealous you are getting things done! We have 3 years worth of honey do's that need to get done badly. As soon as were done helping my mom which will probably take the rest of the summer!
