Not much color in our backyard, may have to go for a drive :)
Love the mums.
Front deck is looking good, still needs stairs (we'll worry about that next year)!

Front Deck - July Progress
The door to nowhere, gets a deck....July Progress!
Post hole digging, not fun and it was super hot.
Girls always add to the fun.
Shoulder height, perfect.
Time for concrete.
Footing 1 done, 3 more are needed for the main deck.
How many bags of concrete so far? Nevermind.
Footings 1, 2, 3, 4.
Filling in, luckily we had a nice pile of fill waiting for this area.
Off comes the sliding.
Drip edge attached, ready for flashing.
Flashing on, bring on the ledger.
Ledgers are designed with off set blocking, this will keep the water off the house.
Level? I hope?
Tighten up.
Rock surfing is always appropriate!
Transit time.
Ledgers need to be in line.
Ledgers 1, 2 and
Three.
Step down in this area, thank you water spickett...not.
Posts & plates, now your talking.
More posts and plates.
Joists
and more joists.
Break time!
Time for joist hangers, this took a while.
Decking!!
Losing shade quickly it seems, the last few pieces will be notched around the posts.
Railing tomorrow :)
