Weekend Warriors

As usual, we have lots of ongoing home projects at the current time. Here's some before and after shots for you:

Needless to say, it was falling apart and everytime someone walked on it I felt like we needed to have them sign a liability waiver.

Wayne and I spent a day doing this:



After all of that we ended up with this:


By the next day we had this:




Now we just need some railings!! We saved the wood that was savable for other projects



and the rest of it will be enjoying a nice, cozy campfire.

Do you suppose I could borrow Wayne for a long weekend? ;) We just have a few things to do like weeding the yard and putting in ceiling fans. Oh and if there's time maybe we'll re-caulk the bathtub. :)
