No More Crumbling Steps

Last week, a long awaited project was completed:  a wooden deck now stands where the crumbling concrete entry steps and old rotten deck once stood.   Parrish The Handiman was the winning bidder, and he and his crew completed the project in two and a half days.  It took a long time to remove the old concrete patio and step since they really made quality concrete landings 40 years ago!!!  I wanted to do a composite decking material, but it was just too expensive and also I had some concerns about the weight of Pepsi deliveries coming over the deck.   We doubled up on the decking materials to support the extra weight, and added a ramp. 

Now it's time to wait for the deck to "cure" before it can be stained.  Meanwhile, the stray tom cat finds this new habitat a great place to relax in the shade and listen to the birds.    He wants to know if the deck makes his butt look fat!
