Today we look back to this week in 2014. We had a new deck built by professionals. The old one was "safe for us" but not many more Beins and was "not to code". An it was 20 years old. So it seemed the right time to replace it. And I wasn't up to the challange. It needed 6x6" posts and those are heavy. It needed 2' deep holes for the front posts and holes cut in the cement patio near the house and no way I could do that!
So, professionals. And I was tired of regular wood deck boards and splinters so I went with artificial wood. But it will last as long as the house!

We've been happy with it ever since.
The new deck looked lovely. Those photos show how far Laz jumped down a few weeks ago! You always have to be careful with something new, you don't want it to attack you. When we got a new furry rug Flynn wouldn't step on it. He leaped 8 feet across it rather than touch it.
ReplyDeleteThat is a pawsome new deck!!!!
ReplyDeleteLots of room to wander and relax and good railings to sit upon :)

ReplyDeleteThat new deck was sure a good investment - for TBT and all you kitties.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like a deck. We all have loved urs for a long time. Third one...rebuilt each time. I think this is the last. He did a great job.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fabulous place for all of you to hang out!
ReplyDeleteWow!! That was a huge project. Good thing you let it be done *for* you!
ReplyDeleteWe need something like that here...but I don't think it will ever come to pass...there seem to always be other urgent projects for our ancient house (1907).
