Captain Morgan's Deck

Watching my neighbours build their own cottages around the bay sometimes has me feeling that I missed out on something. Then I take on a project like building a deck, and I'm reminded of why I designed our cottage but left the construction to the pros. A deck is a modest project but still requires a fair bit of research and planning, not to mention the hard work.  Greg and I put up this 12 X 14 deck off the back of the screened porch.  It's a great spot to relax and enjoy the surrounding forest. See below for images before, during and after construction...

 

Greg calculated that the actual time working was just ten hours, but we spread it over a few days.

 Captain Morgan was the supplier for the celebratory toast when we were done.

Happy Birthday Barb! Here she is trying out her new hammock on her new deck!!
