The deck is here.




A great big thanks to our good friend John and his family for making this happen. Thank you John for all your hard word and thank you Caroline and the boys for sharing him with us for a couple of days to get her done. It truely looks lovely and come spring will be well used and enjoyed. Getting this far took a lot of hard work. Mostly backbreaking ground moving and prep work. Then in about 3 short hours the cement is poured and the stamping done. It really is all about the prep work!!! Now we have a lovely peice of rock to enjoy that will require little to maintain. Doesn't need to be mowed nor raked. Is very easy to clean with a leaf blower and only requires being sealed once a year. The overall visual effect of the stamping is truely stunning. We have already gotten a load of dirt into fill up the sides. It makes it look much better now then it does in these pictures. We are ready to get bulbs to plant in the next couple of weeks. Here are some pictures.
