Deck guys came early today, and now the upper surface is framed out. You can more clearly see the step. What you may not be able to tell is how freakin’ huge it is, even the old section. We will be able to hold whole parties out on this deck. Dinners! Dances! Football games! Even the old section is larger than it was.
With the old deck, basically you could just barely circle some chairs to discuss things — and that circle took the entire width of the deck. Now, even on the “narrow” section, there will probably be enough room to circle and get around past the crowd. Nice.
They still haven’t gotten the piers poured, which worries me a scosh, so the deck remains held up by temporary posts. Rainy weather moves in tomorrow, so no idea how that affects things.
But it’s all very exciting seeing it take shape.
