Deck Cover Part 1

We've wanted to cover the deck for so long, but haven't gotten around to it (time and money, never enough of either!!!!).

The time has finally come and Joe the builder is 3 days in to getting it done. Still quite a bit to do but here's what's been done so far.

Day 1:

Day 2 (Emmanuel came to work for the day...one of Dad's concreting crew who lives down the road)

Lunch for the boys on Saturday

Emmanuel got put on fence duty. This fence has always bugged my husband because of the colour, can't say I ever think about it, but he's finally painting it black

Dilly slept most of the day away not worrying about the nail gun and saw right outside her window

Day 3:

Because the rafters will be easier to paint before the top goes on, we've had to start thinking about what colour our house will be when we finally get around to painting it

And that's where it's up to at the moment. Hopefully by the weekend it'll be all covered from the elements thanks to my clever DIY husband! And for a fraction of the $12K it would have cost to have someone else come in and do it.
