Dinner Outdoors? Finally!

Deck construction is finally underway. After years of suffering with a basically useless backyward, it was finally time to look at how to make it both fun and functional. Thanks to some design tips from Grandpa, we got started and it is developing rapidly, with some positive preliminary results. The upper level is pretty much complete, or at least enough so that we could both barbeque and eat outside tonight. It seems like it's been years since we've had the chance to do that! It was somewhat makeshift with no patio furniture yet to be extracted from the garage, but it was awesome nonetheless. We are super excited for the rest of it to get completed so we can really celebrate summertime in style. Hopefully this will be the place to be for years to come, so stay tuned to see the finished products in just a few short. For now, these goofballs are just happy to breathe some fresh air during dinner!
