The Evolution of a Deck: Steven's Journey

It took about two weeks and a whole lot of sweat (from Steven, not me of course), but the deck is finally done! It will have its maiden voyage this Sunday when our families come over for Father's Day. Pray for nice weather!

Steven spent months designing every intricate detail of this completely custom 24x14 deck, including benches, railings, flower boxes, and a grill cutout. And of course he had the honor of putting it together all by himself. :-) Scroll below to see how his vision came alive!


What our back yard used to look like.




















Let it commence!




















Apparently nothing's more manly than breaking up concrete.














































The baby patio lost that battle; then Steven flattened out the building area.
















Yes, it was just as loud as you think.




















Posts are in!















Framing in.
















Top of the deck starting to go down.















Base of the deck is complete!
















Starting to put in railing, with the flower box framings in the outside corners.
















Just about there!
















Done.


















Done. Done.
















Stand back, ladies! He's all mine!
