Here are a few before pics...
I dug this little trench. It was EXTREMELY hard work, especially in the 100 degree heat.
I mixed concrete for the first time. 1 bag of quickcrete and 2 coffee cans of water!

The last post hole!!!! We were so excited, so I had to document this moment.
Our helper----he really didn't help that much except supervise and nap in the cool dirt.

Building your own deck is such hard work. I've never helped with anything like this, so it is a great experience. I appreciate people who do this for a living because it is not easy!!! I'll try to post pictures of our progress throughout the rest of the summer. Thank you, Dale, for helping us out with this project!!! :)
Try Atwoods in Siloam or Fort Smith for some chairs. Bart and I met at the one in the Fort, working summers in college. It's getting late enough in the season that their lawn furniture should be going on clearance soon - at least by August.
ReplyDeleteYAY! I love a good deck. Maybe in the fall you can put a TV out there and watch football games when the weathers nice!
