After more than a year of labor, permit problems, miscuts, and slivers our deck is done. At one point we even received an injunction to halt construction… but thanks be to God we got it all straighten out. And now we get to enjoy it!

We designed it with the hopes of one day adding in a hot tub… we’ll see if that ever happens.

Thanks to all who helped with the design, and the building. This was certainly a team effort. Not quite a Mennonite barn raising, but it may be the closest thing to one that I’ve experienced to this point in my life.

Peace, dwight

    Looks great! You guys inspired us. Ken is just finishing up our deck today and we’re hosting a 20 person party on it tomorrow! It’s not quite as fancy as yours but it’ll work! Anyway, enjoy your new deck and free time! Ha! Ha!
