Andy had the deck mostly done when we got here on Saturday, but luckily there was still a little work left so Caleb could watch Dad and Connor (neighbor kid who is helping on the deck) work. He loves it! When we bought the house the deck was not kid friendly and we wanted to redo the deck. We got estimates from a couple contractors using both wood and TREKS (or whatever). The lowest bid was about $7000. Andy did it for a little over $1000 reusing the wood and learning how to build a deck at the same time. He did a really good job. The neighbors are so impressed. It is now more or less kid safe (still tools around but no holes for kids to fall through) and it looks really good. We may help with the painting while we are here.

GOOD JOB ANDY! That really looks awesome! Before you paint it you should research it though... my parents painted theirs and totally regret it... they should have stained it. I don't know about stuff like this and when you should paint vs. stain, and you may have it all figured out, but just a warning. Good job again!
