Progress on backyard deck

In the back, we pulled off the vinyl siding (yuck!) and removed the laundry shed. The machines will move inside to a new pantry. The deck itself is being torn out and rebuilt at grade, with a lot less railing...



Below is where it stands today. Some siding repair was necessary and we had to do unexpected drainage work in the concrete at the interface with the house. :-(




Here's my design to give you an idea of how it's going to look. Google Sketchup is cool. :-)
