The Deck!!!



Our first post and its about the making of our deck.

This is the back of the house before.



Not very appealing. We knew from the start we wanted a large deck off the back of the house.



Its now become one of the best features of our house, especially when we have a few visitors up. It gives us a lot more room for everyone to hang out, read a book or eat meals. Its very common to enjoy breakfast, lunch and tea out on the deck. And it feels like you're in a tree house because its nearly completely surrounded by trees, including three avocado trees and a mango tree, all taller than the deck. We've had possums come visiting and many different birds.




This is the 2nd deck, which is underneath. It gives visitors staying down stairs their own area, although they always seem to make their way upstairs.

Hi Jan and Roy,
Your deck looks beautiful, as does the surrounds.

I was looking at Leia's blog when I saw a link to you guys and could not help myself but say Hi and that I hope you are both well.

Love to you both, Carly Preston
