A New Deck!!

Oh, the trials of owning a home.... The deck on our house was in ok condition 3 years ago - except for the fact that it was PAINTED. Who would do that? So last summer we spent an entire week sanding and staining the entire deck with what Home Depot employees said was "the best" and warrented for 3-5 years. We applied exactly as the directions said, perfect - right? WRONG. After all the snow melted away from this past winter, we discovered our deck to be in worst condition that ever! Most of the stain in front of the slider door was GONE, and it was also peeling off the top of the railing, etc.

So we decided it was time for an investment: composite decking with an aluminum powder coated railing. Brian did his research, found a local supply store that had an excellant price that delivered, and did all the labor himself (with only the help of Hunter and Shianne). Here are a few pics I took to document this latest project. Enjoy!
