She lives!!! (And has photos to prove it.)

Over a month has gone by without an update but that's not because we haven't been working on the house. In the last entry, you saw our "beautifully gutted bathroom" as it was just a month ago. So I thought you might be interested to know that it's still beautifully gutted, lol. Yes, as the last warm days of the season quickly disappear, we decided that we need to finish our deck project. This has pretty much been our weekend project since the middle of September. It was in pretty rough shape and we even tore part of it down, which meant rebuilding more railing. I'm pleased to say that it is now repaired and stained and it turned out great! If the weather is nice this weekend, we'll apply one more coat for good measure. It's nice to be able to look out our dining room window and see fresh color instead of old ugly wood planks. I can't wait to put planter boxes along the railing!

Anyway, if you would like to see some of the before/during/after photos, click this link. http://www.onewomanslife.com/deck.wmv Needless to say, we are very pleased with the result! Oh, the lattice you see propped up against the lower half of the deck, that's to keep the dogs off until we do the second coat. I just sprayed the dust off the deck right before shooting those photos, so it's wet.
