I'm getting sick and tired...
... of wood! Building deck after deck and then pulling them apart to add even more to it... Jeez. Not my favorite thing to do! haha... Not one bit, but guess what? We finished TODAY! It's finally completed and cleaned out and everything... Here are some pictures:
This was the deck when we THOUGHT we were finished:
The homeowner came home from work and decided,"Hmm, you know what? I'd like a deck to go all the way around the front of the house. Can you have it done in a week?" My dad told him two full days... Well, I didn't think it would happen, but we pulled it off... Wasn't easy. So here it is, being connected to the other part of the deck we built:
Well, we weren't stopping there! No... We now needed to put in a ramp. So, here's a picture of dad laying down the foundation of the ramp:
And here's the ramp completed:
Haha... I just realized I kinda took quite a few pictures... haha. Here's one of the view from the far right side of the deck:
Billy Joe didn't have school today, so we brought him to work with us! haha. He kinda helped... Anyway, here's a picture of the far right side of the deck:
Here are the other set of stairs:
This was the deck in the back of the house that we did a few days ago... I think the guy is wanting my dad to do some concrete steps with a brick-design... I think it would look better than this wooden deck:
Here are pictures of the whole thing, COMPLETED:
Oh! In this last picture, the deck is on the right side, and on the left, you can see the foundation my dad laid underneath the house... I watched and helped him do some of it and it's hard work! Jeez... That's seriously some tough work! Anyway, here are those pictures I promised! haha... Gosh, the first picture was just of a double deck... and it turned into a whole wraparound thing with a ramp! Are you kidding me?! haha... Never again!
I almost forgot! I made a new friend! :) This is Shadow:
She has the coolest eyes! She's a silly dog who loves food! haha... She also loves to run after people... No joke, ask my little brother!
