Before and during....deck edition

 Here is the deck in need of an overhaul!
Matthew and Joel helped with deconstruction

Here is a before vs. after shot of the wood...and the picture makes the old wood look good compared to the reality of the old wood.  The new wood is beautiful and nicely sanded.

 Here is the deck after a 3 day weekend of construction (which was 99% Ken's handiwork....the boys can't be as much help with this part and Matthew was at HyVee for 2 of the 3 days)
Ken joked that he needed to go to work to get a break from his vacation.  In reality though, he was blessed with excellent weather over the 4th of July holiday weekend.  Today (7/5/16) there is going to be a heat advisory...but this weekend we had the house opened up because it was so lovely.  "AFTER" pictures of the deck to follow!  Hopefully in a week or two.  Work will slow down considerably now!

  3. Wow that looks great. I am impressed. We were blessed with those string of cooler days, too. Ben and I worked on staining our fence outside.
