Beefy Deck


Joey spent last week installing the world's largest and sturdiest deck. It has 2x12 floor joist that appear suspiciously strong for just a deck...I have a sneaky feeling Joey is laying the groundwork for our future addition (read:Judy's room). The deck wood is several different colors because we used different aged wood and the remainder of a couple of different deck stains we owned. Joey blended the colors well and we joke that our deck is just in time for Halloween because it looks like candy corns.

Joey is also fast at work doing the trim work for the house. He has finished almost all of the interior windows, half the exterior windows and started in on the door frames.

I have been little help of late..mostly being a new mom. Although I did a little cabinet wrestling with Joey yesterday when we painted the kitchen the same color as the living room and lowered the cabinets. Also I promised to wire lights into the closets.

Stay tuned..coming up- sanding and painting the stairs- oh-boy.
