deck is done

Our deck is finally done! Hallelujah!

It only took 2 weeks :0)

It looks absolutely amazing compared to the gray grossness it used to be.

Here's a side by side pic of our deck {freshly scrubbed} and the neighbors deck. This picture doesn't even do the dirty deck justice. Ours looked just like it...very crummy.

This is after the scrub and before the stain.

Phinley loved the clean deck. It was like his own little personal outdoor playpen!

It was very open and spacious, because, well, the grill was in our living room! Don't worry....we held off from grilling during it's brief time inside our house.

We had some serious setbacks due to rain. If you didn't know, you have to wait until you have at least 2 sunny days in a row so you can give the stain ample time to dry...rain would ruin that process.

It was well worth the wait and work {thanks Ryan!} Here's a good side-by-side picture! See the difference?

It even looks better from inside our house!

The grill is back on and we just got some plastic chairs at Lowe's to finish the look!
