We spent 8.5 years in our last house debating whether we wanted a deck or a patio. Needless to say, when we moved out, the construction steps were all that we had! We swore that would not happen in this house. We were leaning towards a deck all along, but had a few doubts along the way. We met with around 7 deck builders before making our decision. This was done back in April.
When we chose our deck builder, he told us that it would probably be mid-June before they would start. He filed for the permit right away, though, in case he was able to start sooner. We got a call last Wednesday saying that they would start on Monday. The weather looked great, so he thought they would be done midday on Thursday. Well, of course the weather didn't hold, but they have almost finished. Final cleanup will commence tomorrow. Without further ado, here is our deck!

The completed deck!
Notice the stairs come down straight and at an angle.
The deck builder suggested that because we wanted a wider staircase.
I think it looks so much better than just wide steps. |
