Its about time

My goodness, where has time gone?

I have learned the older I get, the faster time flies by me.

We did it!!! We got the deck done. A year later here we are. It takes alot of work when doing something by yourself. I have to tell you the last stretch was a long one but with some persistence on my end we got it done. By WE I really do mean Bryce and I. I can officially say that WE DID IT!!!! Did I tell you the good news that his mom found a place to call her own? The house will soon be transformed into something we can call all ours. I am very excited to be repainting, decorating and designing OUR home. But lets not jump too far ahead of ourselves... so presenting..... our outside paradise! (ok ok it looks the same but don't be fooled... it is VERY different on many aspects)

BEFORE:





Do you see the flower pots?? Bryce had a little fun with those on demolition day!


Before Bryce bought the house someone took 2 different color paints and PAINTED the deck. It was awful... SPLINTERS became a custom around our hours.

DURING:


we took off the floorboards first. Then we replaced the beams then we redid the floor. It is the same floor design but we replaced everything instead of tearing it all down and starting over= ALOT OF WORK

AFTER:



We have since added our canopy, patio set, and grill to this. It looks amazing in person. we have spent so much time out there already and it has only been done a week! We are now putting the fire pit in (hopefully it will be done shortly after labor day) I am just glad Bryce is feeling good enough to relax on this. finally.
