A New Deck and a New View

After over a year of work and planning we were able to take advantage of our backyard. Last week Mike and Freddie (Mom and Dad), came up to Seattle to help us put up a deck. Through the unseasonal rain, Mike, Uncle Gelo, and Robbie worked to get the deck completed in under 4 days!! Mike's careful and precise calculations and planning lead to a quick and smooth construction with very little extra supplies. Thank you so much Mike and Freddie. We could not have done this without you. Great work team!!! Keep your eyes peeled for a photo album of the development to the final product. Here are some pictures to give you and idea of what has happened over the past year.
