Who needs a big living room when you have a huge deck?

Friday's project was to build a wrap-around deck on the north and east ends of the house. Chris and dad are renting a digger today to dig holes for the posts and then they'll also set the concrete and posts this afternoon.

Mom has been out visiting this week and she has been working on the front "lawn." I'm not sure what happened to our front lawn in the process of building the addition, but it went from beautifully landscaped to being a dirt field, full of rocks! It may have had something to do with the front loader digging an 8' deep hole, and 3 concrete trucks parking in our front lawn. Mom has been raking and sifting the dirt, and it looks 100 times better! We'll bring in loads of top soil and sod this fall, and hopefully by this time next year, we'll have a front lawn again!
