Deck (before and after!!)

 The deck is finished!
It took about a week to do, but some days were shorter than others because it was SOOO hot outside.  Of course the weather didn't cooperate and cool off at all.  There were some days that the boys worked from 7-10 and quit because it was already in the 90's.

It looks awesome!
We already had a BBQ this past weekend and we got a really awesome patio furniture set from my Aunt and Uncle as a gift (like a birthday/christmas/anniversary/everything present for the next 2 years)

Our neighbors have been over and we've got plenty of space for lots of people to relax and enjoy our backyard space.  Now we can really watch the wildlife in our backyard.
There's deer, groundhog named Chubby and Chubby jr, raccoons, rabbits, squirrels, birds, etc.

Plenty of room for our gas grill, 2 patio sets, and our smoker grill!
We are so blessed to have such great friends and family to help make this deck part of our house
